What this inspection record means

OSHA opens inspections for many reasons — routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

NYSLL Article 2, Section 27-a.3.a(1):  The employer did not furnish to
each of its employees,
employment and a place of employment which was free from recognized
hazards that are causing
or were likely to cause death or serious physical harm to its employees
and which will provide
reasonable and adequate protection to the lives, safety or health of its
employees.  In applying
this paragraph, fundamental distinctions between private and public
employment have been
recognized.  A reasonable and adequate abatement method, among others,
would be for the
employer to provide procedures for ensuring that employees are practicing
safe work practices
and for employer monitoring of equipment use.
Justification for issuing a General Duty Clause (Section 27a) concerning
the use of the refuse
collection vehicle is that the employer did not furnish to each of its
employees, employment, and
a place of employment which is free from recognized hazards that are
causing or are likely to
cause death or serious physical harm to its employees, and which will
provide
reasonable and
adequate protection to lives, safety, or health of its employees.
Specifically:
a) Montgomery Vill DPW - The employer allowed 2 employees to ride the
steps of a refuse
collection truck while moving at a speed greater than 10 mph.  The truck
is a 2006 International
cab and frame with a Pakmor dump body.  This is not compliant with ANSI
Z245.1-1999 and
the NIOSH Alert for Preventing Worker Injuries and Deaths from Moving
Refuse Collection
Vehicles.  A feasible and acceptable abatement method, among others, would
be for the
employer to develop and enforce a policy that prohibits employees from
riding the steps while
moving at speeds greater than 10 mph.  Employees can ride either in the
cab of the refuse
vehicle or in a follow vehicle.
b) Montgomery Vill DPW - The employer allowed 2 employees to ride the
steps of a refuse
collection truck for more than 0.2 miles.  The truck is a 2006
International cab and frame with
a Pakmor dump body.  This is not compliant with ANSI Z245.1-1999 and the
NIOSH Alert for
Preventing Worker Injuries and Deaths from Moving Refuse Collection
Vehicles.  A feasible
and acceptable abatement method, among others, would be for the employer
to develop and
enforce a policy that prohibits employees from riding the steps for a
distance greater than 0.2
miles.  Employees can ride either in the cab of the refuse vehicle or in a
follow vehicle.
c) Montgomery Vill DPW - The employer had not provided training and
education for
employees who operate and work around refuse collection equipment, as
required by ANSI
Z245.1-1999, and the manufacturer's operating manuals. The lack of
training and hazard
awareness related to refuse collection equipment can result in falls and
crushing injuries.
A feasible abatement method, among others, would be for the employer to
provide a training
and education program for employees prior to assignment. It would be
beneficial to routinely
reinforce the training by tailgate training sessions, so that employees
are familiar with the safety
hazards and safe work practices related to refuse collection equipment.
d) Montgomery Vill DPW - The employer had not provided a safety and health
program to
ensure employees are operating the equipment properly as required by ANSI
Z245.1-1999 and
the manufacturer are operating manuals.  A feasible abatement method,
among others, wouldbe for the employer to provide procedures for ensuring
that employees are practicing safe work
practices and for employer monitoring of equipment use.
