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 crushing hazards:
a.On or about July 7, 1999 at 279 Bond Rd., employees were exposed to
crushing
hazards, because jacks were not placed behind each axle of the mobile home
when jacking it from its concrete pillars, and an employee was allowed to
crawl
under the mobile home while it was being jacked or raised.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard
is to follow the manufacturer's recommendation to use two jacks, one
behind and
one in front of the axles, and to start jacking from the rear while
keeping the lift
as even as possible, and never allow anyone under a mobile home while it is
being jacked or raised.
