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:
a.   JOBSITE:  South side of barn, Rt. #5, 6078 East
Genesee St. Fayetteville, N.Y.; (3) Three employees
were working from a ladder jack scaffold installing
roofing material and roofing brackets when one sup-
port ladder of the scaffold broke causing the (3)
employees to fall approx. 20 feet to the ground below.
Among other methods, one feasible method to reduce
this hazard is to establish and enforce adequate safe
operating procedures, procedures such as those stipu-
lated in American National Standards - Scaffolding
Safety Requirements (ANSI A 10.8 - 1988).  Elements
essential to an acceptable safe operating procedure
include at a minimum:
1)   Ladder jack scaffolds erected with a fabricated
scaffold plank to be limited to no more than two
persons on the plank, but only one person to stand
on each half of the planks span.
2)   Ladders will be Type I (250 pound rated) or Type
1A (300 sound rated).
