General-duty citation text
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.
