Nevada Revised Statute 618.375(1):  The employer failed to furnish
employment and a place of
employment which was free from recognized hazards that were causing or
were likely to cause
death or serious physical harm to his employees:
The employer failed to ensure that employees were properly trained to
operate a personnel lift:
a.Outside and adjacent to the Receiving Department roll-up door, one
employee,
standing in the basket of a Genie Personnel Lift, Model PLC-30, failed to
install
outriggers before ascending to an estimated height of 23 to 25 feet.  As a
result,
when he begin his descent, the lift swayed, fell over to the concrete
surface and
the employee sustained a severe back injury.
Reference:
Genie Personnel Lift Operating Instructions: Page 2 Caution, "Read and
understand these instructions before operating the Genie Personnel Lift.
Do
not
permit any to use the lift who does not understand the material in this
document."
Page 2 Set Up and back page item #2, "All outriggers must be installed and
the
base must be leveled before using the personnel lift."
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct
this hazard would be 1) Ensure that outriggers are attached prior to
employees
entering the basket and 2) Fully train each employee in accordance with
ANSI
A92.3 and Genie Personnel Lift Operating Instructions, prior to using the
lift and
any similar equipment purchased in the future.
