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:
Employees operating a freight elevator were exposed to the hazard of
falling into the elevator shaft and/or being crushed by the elevator
cab due to the elevator hoistway door not having a functioning inter-
lock system.
a) 2nd floor hoistway door did not have a functioning interlock.
Among other methods one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct his hazard is to:
1) Equip each hoistway door with a hoistway door interlock device;
2) The interlock device shall hold the door in the locked position
by means of gravity or by a restrained compression spring, or
by both, or by means of a positive linkage;
3) The interlock shall lock the door in the closed positon before
the elevator can be operated.
