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 hazard of being struck and/or caught by/between a
suspended load:
a.At the worksite. It was documented that an employee places wood blocks,
to
initially support a boat before towers (in the form of tripods) are also
placed to
support the boat. Once the boat is lowered to the blocks, if modification
to the
location of the blocks is merited, the employee rearranges the blocks
position.
While relocating the blocks, the boat is suspended in the air by a Tami
Lift
Mobile Crane, while the employee is under the suspended load.
Among others, feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct this
condition are to:
1.Properly support the load before work is begun by lowering it into a
cradle.
2.Place the blocks in a preselected location to avoid the need for an
employee to rearrange them.
3.Use a rod (or any other tool) to relocate (push/pull) the blocks once the
load is suspended over them.
NOTE:Certification and documentation of abatement must be submitted for
this citation
item as required by 29 CFR 1903.19.
