IN THE ALTERNATIVE
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:
(a)On or about June 19, 2002, employees working from the platform of an
elevated Skyjack
scissors lift in the steel warehouse between the runways of an active
overhead bridge crane were
exposed to being struck by the moving bridge crane or caught between the
moving crane and
storage/adjacent structure(s).
Among other methods, feasible and acceptable means for abating this
condition include
ensuring compliance with the manufacturer's specifications for operation
of Skyjack scissors lifts
including not operating near cranes and specifications found in the
American National Standard
for Self-Propelled Elevating Work Platforms, ANSI/SIA A92.6-1999, for the
safe operation of
scissors lifts, to include ensuring aerial lifts are not elevated/operated
in the vicinity of an active
overhead crane, or by taking steps to prevent inadvertent movement of the
crane by blocking
the path of crane travel with means such as rail clamps or similar devices.
