Location:Storage Yard, Northwest Corner
Condition:An employee removing the lifting clamp from two granite slabs
stood
in front of them where he could be struck by the slabs.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this
hazard is to develop and implement safe work procedures for the unloading

handling of the stone slabs.
