General-duty citation text

North Carolina General Statute 95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety and
Health Act of North
Carolina:  The employer did not furnish to each of his employees
conditions of 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)being crushed by or caught between the forklift and the ground in the
event of an
overturn hazard.  The employee operating the Mitsubishi Caterpillar
Forklift,
model: DP40, Type: D, serial #: 3CM10279, in the old plant, was not wearing
the seat belt when the forklift tipped over on July 10, 2000.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct
this hazard is to train employees and enforce the wearing of seat belts
while
operating forklifts with a Roll Over Protection System (ROPS) or a Fall On
Protection System (FOPS).
