Serious 1 instance 20 exposed
Issued
Abate by
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: Hazard of
crushing injury/death when entering/ exiting
through the powered overhead doors.
LOC: Garage, Powered Overhead Doors
Employees were exposed to ahazard of crushing injury/death when entering/
exiting through theoverheaddoors.
COMMENT:Amongmethods of abatement would include (as set forth in ANSI
standard A156.8) and the following:
1. A constant pressure actuation switch. This would always be operated in
sight of the door so that it could be released
and manually reversed if an obstruction was hit. 2. Installation of a
reversing edge switch. This would allow an
automatic closing control out of sight of the door, but would immediately
reverse the direction of the door upon
striking an obstruction. A variation to this option would be the use of
photoelectric cells that would reverse the door
when an obstruction was encountered by the beam. OR 3. A three-button
control switch. If the following conditions
are also met: (a) It is provided with a permanent placard adjacent to the
switch with the following warning letters at
least 1/4" high: WARNING TO PREVENT ENTRAPMENT DO NOT START DOOR DOWNWARD
UNLESS
DOORWAY IS CLEAR (b) The control station and placard are located within
sight of the doorway. (c) Automatic
closing controls are not also installed. (d) Operator must remain at the
control station and observe the door until the
door is fully closed.
