free from
recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious
physical harm to
employees:
(a)Date of Violation:On or about 01/05/00
Location:Southeast Corner, Block Stockpile Area
Condition:An employee rigging 2' by 2' by 8' concrete blocks, each weighing
approximately 4600 lbs. which were being moved using a track
excavator stayed in such proximity to the blocks while being hoisted
that he could be struck by the load.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard
is to keep all employees clear of loads about to be lifted and of
suspended loads, and to use
tag lines to control the load.
Abatement documentation (photographs, receipts, copies of programs,
training
certification, etc.) is required for this item.
