General-duty citation text

Section 5(A)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:
The employer did not furnish to each of his employees employment and a
place of employment
which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or were likely
to cause death or
serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to the
hazard of being struck
by falling objects:
On or about 02/01/01, employees were allowed to walk underneath of the
work area where
overhead work was being conducted.  The area was not barricaded to prevent
employees from
being exposed to a struck-by hazard while an employee was removing the
barrel of an overhead
rolling door.
Among other methods of abatement, one feasible and acceptable method to
correct this hazard
is to prohibit employees from entering underneath the work area while in
the process of
removing the overhead door.
PLEASE NOTE:  CERTIFICATION AND DOCUMENTATION OF ABATEMENT IS
REQUIRED FOR THIS VIOLATION.
