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 in that employees were
exposed to crushing hazards:
a) Front Bay -  Employees use the middle, double post
hydraulic frame contact lift to elevate automobiles. (1) The
lift was not marked with its rated load capacity. (2) An
automatic mechanical device was not provided to hold the lift
in the fully extended position at the rated load capacity.
Thus exposing employees to injury from being struck by falling
loads.
b) Front Bay - Employees use a Quikway, hydraulic, frame
contact lift to elevate automobiles. (1) The lift was not
marked with its rated load capacity. (2) An automatic
mechanical device was not provided to hold the lift in the
fully extended position at the rated load capacity. Thus
exposing employees to injury from being struck by falling
loads.
c) Side Bay - Employees use a Globe, double post, hydraulic,
frame contact lift to elevate automobiles. (1) The lift was
not marked with its rated load capacity. (2) An automatic
mechanical device was not provided to hold the lift in the
fully extended position at the rated load capacity. Thus
exposing employees to injury from being struck by falling
loads.
d) Lower Shop - Employees use two Gilboard semi-hydraulic,
frame contact lifts to elevate automobiles. (1) The lift was
not marked with its rated load capacity. (2) An automatic
mechanical device was not provided to hold the lift in the
fully extended position at the rated load capacity. Thus
exposing employees to injury from being struck by falling
loads.
ABATEMENT NOTE:  Among other methods, one feasible and
acceptable abatement method to correct these hazards is to
mark the rated capacity on the lifts and to provide an
automatic mechanical device to hold the lift in the fully
extended position at the rated capacity.
NOTE: ABATEMENT DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED
