General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not
furnish employmnent 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 multiple injuries or death from a collapsing hoist due in
part from lifting loads
beyond the maximum rated load.
The one-ton overhead hoists were not inspected or used in accordance with
the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the American National Standard
Institute (ANSI) B30.16-
1981 standard for overhead hoists.  There was no inspection procedures in
place for the
overhead hoists and paragraphs 16-2.1.2 and 16-2.1.2 required the employer
to conduct both
frequent and periodic inspections of the overhead hoists.  The employer
did not ensure that the
overhead hoists were used properly by not exceeding the rated capacity on
the hoist.  Paragraph
16-3.1.2 (h) states that the operator shall not pick up a load beyond the
rated
load appearing on
the hoist, except during properly authorized tests.
a)  The employer did not ensure that monthly inspections of the hoist
chains, for each hoist, was
completed.  Documentation was not available.
b)  The employer did not ensure that periodic inspections of the hoist
chains was completed
within the past 12 months.  Documentation was not available.
c)  The employer utilized either the Yale or the Coffing one-ton hoists,
to periodically move and
turn part number 02830-00 (the largest hydraulic tank which weighed 2772
pounds) and
exceeding the maximum rated load of the cranes.
Among other methods, feasible and acceptable means to correct these
hazards are to use a safer
alternate method such as the use of an overhead hoist or crane, with a
higher rated load
capacity, approved by the manufacturer, which meets the requirements of
ASME/ANSI B30.16-
1981.  The employer can utilize the periodic and frequent inspection
instructions and forms
located in the manufacturer's manual.
Abatement Certification and Abatement Documentation required.
