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 crushing injuries and/or death:
On or about: 02/09/05
Location: Lot 17, Hammond Ridge Development, Armonk, NY
a) Employees walking-up/raising a pre-constructed wood frame wall, 14'9"
long by 10'2" high
to the vertical position, were exposed to being struck by the wall when
inadequate bracing used
to foot the wall failed allowing the base of the wall to kick-out and fall
on the employees.
Abatement Note: Among other methods, feasible and acceptable methods to
abate this hazard
are a) Use of more substantial bracing and backing that is capable of
sustaining the load and
pressures imposed during the manual raising of the wall. b) Use of a crane
or other equipment
having adequate capacity to raise the pre-constructed wall into position.
NOTE: The employer is required to submit abatement certification for this
