General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of Public Law 91-596, the Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970:  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, in that employees were exposed to: the hazard of loads being
dropped due to the
absence of rated loads having been determined for "Below-the-Hook" Lifting
Devices, i.e., not
having been conspicuously displayed on the device(s).
(a)Building 3, 6300 Series Seal Press - There were no rated load markings
visible
on the main structure of, nor any identification plates which listed:
a.  the manufacturer's name and address,
b.  the serial number of the device,
c.  the lifter's weight (if over 100 lbs),
d.  its rated load
on the "Below-the-Hook" Lifting Device used to move the Rubber Impact
Return Roller.
[Reference Section 20-1.2.1(a) & (b) of The American Society of Mechanical
Engineers
Safety Standard for Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices, ASME B30.20a-1996].
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this
hazard is to: (1) stencil a clearly visible load rating on each
"Below-the-Hook" lifting
device, and (2) affix an identification plate to each "Below-the-Hook"
lifting device
which includes the information required in points a-d above.
