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 of likely to cause death
or serious physical harm to employees in that:
In the warehouse, employees required to remove steel coils from
overseas shipping containers were exposed to the hazards of being
struck by and/or caught between the walls of the shipping container
and the steel coils shifting movement once the metal bands securing
the load are removed.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
eliminate these hazards is to establish safe material handling procedure
requiring the steel coils to be secured in place by the use of a fork
lift truck or other material handling equipment, which would prevent the
shifting movement of the steel coils once the securing metal bands are
released.
