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 fall hazards:
(a)Jobsite - On or about April 5, 2002, employees installed windows, about
26 feet above the
ground, from the platform of a Terex TB60 self-propelled aerial lift.
These employees did not
use personal fall arrest systems when working from the aerial lift.  Among
other methods, one
feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard includes
wearing a harness and
lanyard with the lanyard attached to the boom or basket of the aerial
lift, as outlined in the
American National Standard Institute safety standard for Boom-Supported
Elevating Work
Platforms (ANSI/SIA A92.5-1992).ed
