Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not
furnish employmnent 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 falling loads from using inadequately protected nylon
slings:
(a)Old Trail Road, Etters, Pennsylvania - The two (2) inch nylon sling(s)
used to lift
metal roof decking from the ground to the National truck were not
adequately
padded. The sharp unprotected edges of the roof decking material severed
one of
the sling(s), causing the load to fall and strike an employee.
(b)Old Trail Road, Etters, Pennsylvania - The four (4) inch nylon sling(s)
used to
lift metal roof decking from the ground to the National truck after the
fatality
were not adequately padded from the sharp edges of the decking material
during
the lift.
VERIFICATION REQUIRED
One feasible abatement method, among others is to utilize adequate padding
that will provide
suitable protection from the sharp edged decking material, or use an
alternative type of lifting
device other than nylon sling(s).
