General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)1 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:
The employer did not furnish to each of his employees 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 a
caught-in-between hazard:
On or before 12/2/02 at Flaghole Road, in Clewiston, FL, an employee
unhitching a Monosem
Pneumatic Planter from a John Deere 7210 Tractor was exposed to a caught
in hazard which
resulted from the Load/Depth Control not being zeroed and the employer's
failure to provide
stands on the planter to prevent tip over as required in the John Deere
7210 Operator's Manual
and the Monosem Operator's Manual.  A feasible and effective means of
abatement may include,
but is not limited to: zeroing the Load/Depth Control per the John Deere
7210 Operators Manual
and install stands on the Monosem Pneumatic Planter per the Monosem
Operator's Manual.
PLEASE NOTE:  CERTIFICATION OF ABATEMENT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS
VIOLATION.
