General-duty citation text

ABATEMENT DOCUMENTATION IS REQUIRED
HAR 12-60-2(a)(3) was violated because:
Employees were exposed to the hazard of falling debris from coconut trees
while cleaning debris under a
fruit-laden tree in 40 mph winds.
12-60-2(a)(3) states "Every employer shall provide safe work places and
practices by elimination or reduction
of existing or potential hazards. Elimination of existing or potential
hazards by design, process substitution, or
other appropriate method is preferred because it eliminates the need for
further employee protection.  When
elimination is not feasible, reduction of existing or potential hazards to
acceptable levels, using methods such
as engineering or administrative controls, isolation or guarding, shall be
promptly used.  When these methods
are inadequate to reach acceptable levels, personal protective equipment
shall be provided and used."
Abatement Note: One feasible means of abatement is to train employees
about the hazard of falling debris in
accordance with ANSI Z133.1-2000.
Location:(a)Golf course
