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) The hazards of collisions and falls resulting from the following: 1) Faulty dock levelers in the shipping and receiving areas, which unexpectedly pop up, creating an uneven surface between the trailer and dock. Drivers could lose control of the vehicle while driving over the uneven surface. 2) The dock lips did not fully extend to the trailer bed as intended by the manufacturer. Employees had to manually hold up the dock lip as the dock was lowered from the raised position, exposing employees to the hazards of falls while standing on the uneven surface. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method of abatement would be to adjust the dock leveler Lip Assist Spring and Main Torsion Bars as per the manufacturer's recommendations and to schedule the inspection and maintenance of the dock levelers on a recurring basis.
