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 overhead hazards and struck by hazards of falling tires. Main Building: Employees working beneath a roller conveyor were exposed to being struck by tires which were dropped approximately twenty feet from an opening in the second floor, onto the roller conveyor which leads to the first floor. Employees were also exposed to being struck by tires that fall off the roller conveyor which had no means to guide the tires. The exposed employees were working beneath the opening and were collecting the tires and loading them into trucks. Feasible methods of abatement include but are not limited to: 1. Install conveyor belt system to bring tires from the second floor to the first floor in accordance with the requirements of ANSI B 20.1-2000 Section 5.13.. The conveyor system must be guarded so tires do not roll off and fall to the floor below, exposing employees beneath to struck by hazards. 2. Install an fully enclosed chute to eliminate employee exposure to falling tires.
