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: Moving equipment and vehicles while working on a scissor
lift in the roadway
of a shopping center which was not barricaded, flagged or roped off for
the employees
protection.
a)Lakeview Plaza Shopping Center - Employee using a JLG scissor lift,
Model CM
2033, S/N 020011487, was exposed to vehicular traffic while installing
tyvex on
the exterior of the building.  The addition of vehicular traffic in the
work area of
the lift increased the potential for an accident because the
employee/operator had
to move the lift while holding tyvex sheets, watch traffic and steer the
lift in a
straight direction inches from the curbing.  Feasible abatement methods
include:
(1) Ensure that employees barricade and block off areas where scissor
lifts are to
be operated as per ANSI A92.6-1990, 7.11.2.  (2) Implement a training
program
to ensure that employees are aware of the proper methods to be used to
operate
scissor lifts such as those described in the Operators Manual and ANSI/SIA
A92.6-1990.
