General-duty citation text
North Carolina General Statute 95-129 (1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of North Carolina: The employer did not furnish to each of his employees conditions of 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) fabrication building -- the employer did not insure that the work area, in which construction workers were working from an aerial lift, was isolated, marked, barricaded, or guarded to prevent moving production equipment from striking the aerial lift. A construction employee was fatally injured on June 13, 1997, when an aerial lift overturned after being struck by a bridge crane. NOTE: Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard is to mark the area where construction employees are using the aerial lift, and not permitting the operation of bridge cranes or other moving equipment in the area which is marked.nt
