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 the hazard of bodily injury resulting from
falling overhead doors.

overhead doors
are used to facilitate fork truck traffic into and out of the production

Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard
is to have the defective parts repaired or replaced to bring both of the
doors in to compliance

Standard Institute
and National Garage Door Manufacturers for Sectional Over Head Type Doors,
"ANSI/NAGDM 102-1988" Section 9.3
