Labor and Employment Article, Section 5-104(a): 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:
(a)Date of Violation:01/19/05
Condition:An employee unloading unsecured granite slabs, weighing 900
pounds
apiece, from an "A" frame from the flat bed of a delivery truck, was not
protected from being struck by the granite slabs.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is
to secure the granite slabs to the "A" frame with a positive locking
device, that is adjustable and
of sufficient strength to prevent the granite slabs from falling.
Abatement documentation (photographs, receipts, copies of programs,
training
certification, etc.) is required for this item.
