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:
a)  Ennis, Incorporated dba Ennis Leipsic - Leipsic, Ohio:  On or
about August 11, 2005 the employer failed to ensure that the below-
the-hook lifting device used to put rolls of paper onto the
collator on Line 702 was load tested following modifications made
by the employer and marked with the rated load capacity of the
device.
Abatement Note:  One feasible abatement method is to comply with
ANSI/ASME B30.20a-1987 "Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices" Section 20-
1.4.2 which requires that lifting devices be tested and inspected
prior to use after an altercation or modification of the device,
and that a report be prepared confirming the load rating.  The load
must also be marked on the lifting device per Section 20-1.2.1.
In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is
required for this violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE
ACTION WORKSHEET), and in addition, documentation demonstrating
that abatement is complete must be included with your
certification.  This documentation may include, but is not limited
to, evidence of the purchase or repair of the equipment,
photographic or video evidence of abatement, or other written
records.
