General-duty citation text
Section 88.4 - Code of Iowa (1999) 88.4: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which was 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)American Ordnance Plant, Warehouse Storage Building #17, Middletown, Iowa - Grinnell Fire Protection employees were allowed to tape the joystick handle of a Skyjack,SJIII, model 3220,id# 251800, scissorlift work platform. This procedure overrides the safety features of the platform and any accidental contact with the joystick would allow the work platform to lunge into movement. The careless act put employees in a very hazardous environment as the employees are installing a sprinkler system in the overhead rafters of the storage buildings.
