Labor and Employment Article, Section 5-104(a), Annotated Code of
Maryland:
The employer did not
furnish 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:
(a)Date of Violation:11/19/03
Location:Outlet End of Culvert
Condition:Employees were working in a culvert 7 feet to 10 feet in
diameter, 2,388 feet long on
a day when flash flooding conditions were predicted.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is to develop and
implement a program to monitor weather conditions to ensure that employees
are removed from the culvert
and adjacent work areas when physical hazards such as flash floods could
occur.
Abatement documentation (photographs, receipts, copies of programs,
training certification, etc.)
is required for this item.
