General-duty citation text

North Carolina General Statute 95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety and
Health Act of North Carolina:  The employer
did not furnish to each of his employees conditions of employment and a
place of employment free from recognized
hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical
harm to employees, in that employees were
exposed to vehicular traffic:
a)job site, Wheat Swamp Rd. and Fallen Creek Rd. (Lenoir County) - traffic
signs were not posted
where employees were exposed to vehicular traffic in a work zone while
conducting roadside
surveying.
One feasible and acceptable abatement method, among others, to correct
this hazard is to provide and
require employees to post traffic signs in work zones indicating "Survey
Crew Ahead", "Work Zone",
"Work Ahead", or other messages; to indicate the presence of employee's
work zones to alert
oncoming motorist before work is commenced.
