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 being struck by a brass nozzle attached to a whipping pressurized fire hose. CENTRAL ARTERY TUNNEL, C17AA, at 101+51 Standpipes: On or about August 21, 2002, an employee was struck by a 10 pound 31 inch long brass nozzle attached to a pressurized fire hose that he was unable to manually control during a flow test. One feasible method, among others, of abating this hazard would be to provide employees an engineering control capable of and designed for the purpose of securely holding fire hose nozzles during flow test procedures.
