General-duty citation text

Section 5(A)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:
The employer did not furnish to employees 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 operating a
lawn mower tractor
on a slope that exceeded manufacturer's recommendations.
a) On or about 12/05/00 on the 17th hole of the Boca Rio Golf Course, an
employee operated
a Jacobson lawn mower on a slope greater than 12.5 degrees, exposing the
employee to the
hazard of being crushed, trapped or thrown in the event of a roll over.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method of abatement to
correct this hazard
is to train employees following the manufacturer's operator's manual for
equipment they may
be allowed to operate.
PLEASE NOTE: CERTIFICATION OF ABATEMENT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS
VIOLATION.
