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 the hazard of crushing or being struck:
a) Location - Production:
On or about August 10, 2004, a Budgit One Ton (2,000 pounds) electric
overhead
underslung hoist was connected to a Budgit One-Half Ton (1,000 pounds)
trolley to lift
and move a machine weighing approximately 4,300 pounds.  The hoist,
trolley, and
machine fell and resulted in severe lacerations to the forearm and hand of
an employee.
One feasible means of abatement, among others, is to ensure that all
components of an
overhead underslung hoist system (beam, trolley, chain hoist, etc.) are
matched for load
rating and inspected in accordance with ASME B30.16-2003.
