SCRR 71-112A: Failed to furnish a place of employment which is free of
recognized hazards which may cause death or serious physical harm to his
employees and comply with this regulation and other occupational safety and
health rules and regulations promulgated under Chapter 15 of Title 41,
Code of
Laws, State of South Carolina, 1976, as amended, as follows:
A.  Employer knew of should have known that employee operating concrete
pumping truck Nol. 39 at the jobsite was exposed to the hazard of
electrocution, or being struck by falling debris from objects being hit
due to
loss of control of the boom of truck dispatched from the establishment and
used on or about August 25, 2000 following report of a defective boom
remote
control box system and a defective boom hydraulic system on or about August
23, 2000.  A feasible and useful method to correct this hazard, among other
methods, is to develop and implement a machine/vehicle specific written
lockout/tagout program that would identify, track and secure a truck with
safety defects and also ensure all related personnel are informed that the
vehicle has been locked out/tagged out to prevent use until repairs have
been
made.
