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 or should have known that wood platform was not secured
to the lifting
carriage and that operator was not at the controls of a JCB 506c forklift
with identification
number 30462 which could cause the employee to fall in excess of 13 feet,
nor would the
employee have the means to lower the lifting carriage or shut the power
off to the lift in an
emergency such as falls or contact with power lines.  A feasible and
useful method, among
others, to correct the hazards would be to secure the pallet to the
forklift and for the operator
to remain at the controls of the lift located at the side of the building.
