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 falls from elevation: On April 20, 2005, and other times prior thereto, at this location, employees were departing a gangway by jumping from the gangway onto the shore. The gangway was not secured. The gangway extended 10 feet over the shore and was raised 40 inches above the shore. One means of abatement would be to provide a stairway or ladder at all personnel points of access where there is a break in elevation of 19 inches (48 cm) or more, and no ramp, runway, sloped embankment, or personnel hoist is provided.
