SCRR 71-112A: Failed to furnish a place of employment which is free of
recognized hazards
which may cause death or serious physical harm to his employees and comply
with this
regulation and other occupational safety and health rules and regulations
promulgated under
Chapter 15 of Title 41, Code of Laws, State of South Carolina, 1976, as
amended, as
follows:
A.  Employer knew or should have known that employees moving mobile
presses in the
Honda line and Mercury HMC line are exposed to the hazard of being struck
by presses
when being moved.  A feasible and useful means of abatement, among others,
is to develop
and implement a program for moving mobile presses to include: (1) a hazard
evaluation of
the design of the presses which includes areas, such as, but not limited
to stability, weight,
maneuverability; (2) hazard evaluation of the surrounding areas including
floor conditions
where pressed will be moved; (3) written procedures for the safe movement
of the presses;
and (4) training on the hazards and the developed procedures.
