General-duty citation text

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 operator of forklift with
Identification
Number SS 5095 was not at the controls while two employees were elevated
on work
platform nor was it secured to the lift which created a hazard of lift
shifting and employees
falling in excess of 18 feet.  A feasible and useful method to correct
these hazards, among
other methods, is to use a proper platform secured to the forks and to
provide means for
personnel on the platform to shut off power or have the operator at the
controls while
employees are on the platform.
