General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  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 the hazard of being run over or into by vehicles
that were left
unattended:
(a)440 South 375 West, Shoshone, Idaho: On or about September 26, 2001 and
at times prior thereto the International Harvester service truck, VIN
#AA172JHA25192, was left unattended on an incline with the engine running
and the wheels not blocked or chocked.
(b)440 South 375 West, Shoshone, Idaho: On or about September 26, 2001 and
at times prior thereto vehicles needing service were parked directly
behind the
unattended International Harvester service truck while the engine was
running
and the wheels were not blocked or chocked.  Employees were allowed to
enter the area between the two vehicles where they could be crushed if the
truck rolled.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard
is to always chock the wheels of trucks when they are parked and never
enter the danger
zone between the truck and other equipment.
Note: Abatement certification required for this item.
