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:
a) Employee(s) working in the "D" Cargo Pit of a DC-8 Aircraft were
exposed to struck
by hazards when the barrier door was not properly secured.  The partition
was secured
with safety wire instead of the fastener that it was designed to accept.
This condition
created a hazard which when side pressure was applied to the barrier door
causing the
safety wire to break, disengaging the top portion of the barrier door.
On May 22, 2000, an employee working on the opposite side of the barrier
door was
struck in the head when the safety wire securing the top corners broke.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method of abatement is to
use
the fasteners,
or latches, recommended by the manufacturer.
