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 fall hazards while being lifted on an elevated platform: a)North side of building: Employees were exposed to fall hazards when lifted approximately 23 feet to the roof on a 286 inch long platform via a GEHL, Model RS5, all terrain forklift. The platform extended approximately 88 inches beyond each side of the truck's wheel base (measured across the load bearing tires). One feasible method to correct this hazard would be to follow the requirements specified in ANSI Standard B56.6-1992, Safety Standard for Rough Terrain Forklift Trucks, Paragraph 8.25.1(b), Platforms for Elevating Personnel, which states: "Floor dimensions shall not exceed two times the load center distance listed on the rough terrain forklift truck nameplate, measured parallel to the longitudinal center plane of the truck, nor have a width greater than the overall width of the truck (measured across the load bearing tires) plus 10 inches on either side.
