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:
(a)  hazards created by the use of elevated work platforms which were not
designed, constructed
and/or used in accordance with the acceptable requirements of the American
National Safety
Standard for Rough Terrain Forklift Trucks, ASME B56.6-1992.  The
personnel platform and
its use did not meet the design requirements of that standard in the
following areas:  (1)
Modifications and additions, such as a personnel platform, did not have
the manufacturer's prior
written approval.  (2)  The forklift truck controls were not in neutral
with the parking brake set.
(3)  A trained operator was not in position to control the rough terrain
forklift.  These conditions
existed when an employee was working on a residential building from a
platform
attached to the
forks of a rough terrain forklift.  Among other methods, one feasible and
acceptable abatement
method to correct these hazards is to assure that the design, manufacture
and use of all
attachments for Rough Terrain Forklift Trucks are in accordance with the
most current American
National Standard, B56.6 (presently B56.6-1992), and/or has the prior
approval of the lift truck
manufacturer.
