General-duty citation text
40.1-51.1(a) of the Code of Virginia: The employer, Byrd's Wrecking Yard, Inc., did not furnish a place of employment which was free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm in that employees are required to operate chain hoist that had a defective lifting chain attached exposing them to injury from potential dropped load. In the Shop a Yale 500 Pound Electric Chain Hoist had a roller chain that had been wired together in several areas to hold the roller chain together. Wiring the chain together would not provide the same lifting strength as would an original manufactured chain rated for the loads being lifted. One feasible and acceptable abatement method, among other methods, to correct this hazard would have been to replace the roller chain (and not wired it together) as required by ANSI B30.16.2-1990, American National Standard Safety Code for Electric Chain Hoists.c
