General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1910.5(a)(1): The employer did not provide the employees with a place of employment which was free from a recognized hazard. LOC: a) Garage, Powered Overhead Doors (6) The employees were exposed to a hazard of crushing/death when entering/exiting through the overhead doors. Reference: ANSI-A156.8 Comment: Feasible methods of abatement could include: 1) A constant pressure actuation switch. This would always be operated in sight of the door so that it could be released and manually reversed if an obstruction was hit. 2) Installation of a reversing edge switch. This would allow an automatic closing control out of sight of the door, but would immediately reverse the direction of the door upon striking an obstruction. A variation of this option would be the use of photoelectric cells that would reverse the door when an obstruction was encountered by the beam. 3) A three button control switch. If the following conditions are met: a) It is provided with a permanent placard adjacent to the switch with the following warning letters at 1/4" high. WARNING- TO PREVENT ENTRAPMENT DO NOT START DOOR DOWNWARD UNLESS DOORWAY IS CLEAR. b) The control station and placard are located within sight of the doorway. c) Automatic closing controls are not installed. d) Operator must remain at the control station and observe the door until the door is fully closed.
