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 the hazards of falling down the hoist way shaft when the elevator car was not in the landing zone, being struck by the elevator car when the car was entering or leaving the landing zone, or having part of their body caught between the moving elevator and the hoist way: (a) VERTICAL MATERIALS HANDLING CONVEYOR LOCATED BETWEEN THE MAINTENANCE DEPT. AND THE WIRE DRAWING DEPT. ON THE FIRST LEVEL AND IN THE STORAGE AREA ON THE SECOND LEVEL -- THE GATES COULD BE OPENED WITHOUT THE VERTICAL CONVEYOR CAR AT THE DESIRED LANDING ZONE; EMPLOYEE(S) WERE NOT PREVENTED FROM WALKING INTO THE HOISTWAY WHILE THE VERTICAL CONVEYOR WAS IN OPERATION. AMONG OTHER METHODS, ONE FEASIBLE AND ACCEPTABLE METHOD TO CORRECT THE FIRST HAZARD, WOULD BE TO INTERLOCK THE EXITING ACCESS GATES AT BOTH LANDING LEVELS OF THE VERTICAL CONVEYOR, WHEREBY THE GATES COULD NOT OPEN, UNLESS THE CAR OF THE VERTICAL CONVEYOR WAS AT THE DESIRED LANDING LEVEL. AMONG OTHER METHODS, ONE FEASIBLE AND ACCEPTABLE METHOD TO CORRECT THE SECOND HAZARD, WOULD BE TO TOTALLY ENCLOSE THE HOISTWAY BETWEEN THE TWO LEVELS, TO PREVENT ANY EMPLOYEE(S) FROM BEING STRUCK BY THE MOVEMENT OF THE VERTICAL CONVEYOR BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR LEVELS.
