General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to: THE HAZARDS OF HAVING PART OF THEIR BODY CAUGHT BETWEEN THE MOVING ELEVATOR AND THE HOISTWAY. A FEASIBLE AND USEFUL METHOD TO CORRECT THIS HAZARD, AMONG OTHER METHODS, IS THE INSTALLATION OF ELEVATOR CAR DOORS FOR GATES THAT WOULD PREVENT EMPLOYEES FROM HAVING ANY PART OF THEIR BODY OUTSIDE THE PERIPHERY OF THE ELEVATOR CAR UNLESS THE ELEVATOR CAR IS WITHIN THE LANDING ZONE AND THAT WERE ELECTRICALLY INTERLOCKED TO PREVENT THE ELEVATOR CAR FROM MOVING UNLESS THE ELEVATOR CAR DOORS OR GATES ARE IN THE CLOSED POSITION. a) MACHINE ROOM, NEAR #1 MACHINE WINDER: ELECTRIC FREIGHT ELEVATOR OF 6,000 LB. CAPACITY WAS NOT PROVIDED WITH A CAR GATE ON THE NORTH SIDE, THAT WOULD PREVENT EMPLOYEES FROM HAVING ANY PART OF THEIR BODY OUTSIDE THE ELEVATOR CAR IN THAT THE NORTH SIDE CAR GATE WHEN CLOSED DID NOT FIT FLUSH WITH THE CAR FLOOR. b) THE EMPLOYER DID NOT FURNISH EMPLOYMENT AND A PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT WHICH WERE FREE FROM RECOGNIZED HAZARD THAT WERE CAUSING OR LIKELY TO CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS PHYSICAL HARM TO EMPLOYEES IN THAT EMPLOYEES WERE EXPOSED TO BEING STRUCK AND/OR CRUSHED BY ROLL(S) OF PAPER, IN THE AREA BETWEEN THE REEL SECTION AND WINDER SECTION OF PAPER MACHINE #1 OR IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO SHEPART NILES HOIST (SERIAL #119327) AND ITS SUSPENDED LOAD. ON FORWARD TRAVEL OF HOIST, WHEN CONTROL BUTTON WAS RELEASED, THE UNIT CONTINUED TO COAST. WHEN HOIST UNIT WAS LOWERED, IT CONTINUED TO COAST DOWN WHEN THE BUTTON WAS RELEASED. THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY WHEN THE CONTROLS WERE RELEASED. THE HOIST IS RATED AT 2-TON CAPACITY; DURING THIS INSPECTION ON 4/23/90, THE WEIGHT OF THE LOAD WHILE TESTING THE HOIST WAS 1200 LBS. AMONG OTHER METHODS, ONE FEASIBLE AND ACCEPTABLE ABATEMENT METHOD TO CORRECT THESE HAZARDS IS TO CONDUCT FREQUENT (DAILY TO MONTHLY) AND PERIODIC (MONTHLY TO ANNUAL) INSPECTIONS OF THE HOISTING EQUIPMENT TO DETERMINE UNSAFE CONDITIONS SUCH AS INADEQUATE BRAKING ACTION. ALL DEFICIENCIES NOTED MUST BE RECORDED AND CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN.
