North Carolina General Statue 95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety
and Health Act of North Carolina:  The employer did not furnish to
each of his employees  condition 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 the hazard of a
bridgeplate, used by forklifts to load bricks into a railcar, which
did not have a high friction surface and did not have the sides
turned up at right angles to the plate.
a)railhead, a boxcar was being loaded with bricks using a
Toyota 5,500 pound capacity forklift #59 and the
bridgeplate, consisting of 1/2" steel plate 8' wide by
5'1" long which spanned the 32" from the dock to the car
was seen to flex or bend approximately 3/4" to 1" when
the empty forklift exited the car, did not have a high
friction surface and did not have the sides turned up at
right angles to the plane of the surface, ref ANSI B56.1-
1969.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable
abatement method to correct this hazard after performing
weight testing and analysis of the bridgeplate to
ascertain its capacity would be to weld vertical pieces
to each side and apply a non-skid surface to the plate.e
