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 falling:
a.On or about June 9, 2005, at the Mariner's Walk job site, the employer
used the
Asplundh Model L45 aerial lift in a manner for which it was not intended;
that
is, as a crane to pull on and lift power poles while an employee was
elevated in
the bucket.
Among other methods, feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct
the hazard
is to ensure that the aerial lift is only used for the intended purpose
and not as a crane,
do not allow employees to be elevated in the aerial lift if there is any
additional load on
the boom, and provide a crane to assist in the removing and movement of
large objects
such as poles. (Reference ANSI/SIA A92.2 - 1990, Vehicle-Mounted Elevating
and
Rotating Aerial Devices, Section 8.13.2.)
ABATEMENT CERTIFICATION IS NOT REQUIRED.TION
