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 crushing hazard due to failure of below
the hook lifting devices:
Welding Area - Below the hook lifting devices were used throughout
the area and numerous deficiencies were noted such as;  all devices
were made in-house with no documentation of the lifting capacity,
no proof testing for rated load, and components not used properly
as noted;
(a) Welding Area - PC 300 Hood lifting device consisted of
non-alloy chain links with metal L-plates.  One of the anchor
shackles was mounted the opposite way onto plate, no packing
(washers) to centralize the load.
(b) B-5 Assembly Area - Below the hook lifting device used to
lift Komatsu door had shoulderless shackle mounted at an angle
(designed to be mounted vertical) and the wire rope sling had
a clip on backwards.
(c) Welding Area- PC Hood lifting device consisted of 2 wire
rope legs with lifting plates.  The wire rope was attached to
metal plates by forming an eye, there was no thimble in eye to
prevent crushing of rope.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method
to correct this hazard is for the employer to follow manufacturer
guidelines for lifting components and use the ANSI B30.20 Below-
the-Hook-Lifting Devices as a reference.
