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 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 :  Being crushed by unplanned building collapse.
Construction site: Kings Highway and Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, N.Y.
a) Employees were exposed to unplanned building collapse due to the fact
that they worked
doing demolition in a part of the building that the engineer stated should
not have any demolition
work done, on or about 5/11/01 through 7/3/01.
One feasible means of abatement would be to follow the May 11, 2001
engineering survey
letter`s requirements, and do not do any demolition in the part of the
building above the retail
stores until the retail stores are vacated and the engineer has an
opportunity to survey these areas
to determine the possibility of unplanned collapse.
NOTE: BECAUSE ABATEMENT OF THIS VIOLATION IS ALREADY DOCUMENTED IN
THE INSPECTION CASE FILE, THE EMPLOYER NEED NOT SUBMIT CERTIFICATION
OR DOCUMENTATION OF ABATEMENT OF THIS VIOLATION AS NORMALLY
REQUIRED BY 29 CFR 1903.19.
