5(a)(1)

Serious 7 instances 35 exposed
Issued
Abate by
29 CFR 1910.5(a)(1): The employer did not provide the employees with a
place of employment which was free from a
recognized hazard.
Reference: N.J.A.C. 346A-33(a)
LOC: Garage Overhead Powered Doors (7)
Employees were exposed to a hazard of crushing injury/death when
entering/exiting through the overhead
doors.
Reference: ANSI-A156.8
COMMENT: Feasible methods of abatement could include: 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 of this option
would be the use of photoelectric cells that would reverse the door when
an obstruction was encountered by the
beam. 3) A three-button control switch. If the following conditions are
met:
a) It is provided with a permanent
placard adjacent to the switch with the following warning letters at least
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 installed. d)
Operator must remain at the control station and observe the door until the
door is fully closed.
