5(a)(1)

Serious Gravity 02 1 instance 2 exposed
Issued
Abate by
Penalty
Initial $1500.00 · Current $750.00 Reduced
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 hazard of being struck by a falling load. In the machine shop near
column
I-5, floor mounted jib hoist was defective in that the mounting bolts at
the base
of the mast were loose, the monorail jib beam was twisted, the jib beam
was not
marked with it's rated capacity and when these deficiencies were
identified the
lifting device was not removed from service until repaired. One feasible
means
of abatement would be to:
(a) Comply with ASME/ANSI standard B30.11-1993 section 11-
1.1.2 and mark the rated capacity of the monorail jib on the jib.
(b) Remove the device from service until replace/repaired in
accordance with ASME/ANSI B30.11-1993 section 11-2.3.3(a).
(c) Ensure that the entire unit will lift the rated load by conducting
a rated load test and maintaining a record of that test in accordance
with ASME/ANSI B30.11-1993 section 11.2.2.2(a).
