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 the following conditions:
a)On or about 08/04/05, and at times theretofore, at 9600 Clinton Drive,
Galena Park South Yard, the employer did not furnish a place of
employment which was free from recognized hazards likely to cause death
or serious physical harm because the employer did not a) insure that
operators of boom-supported aerial work platforms were trained on the
aerial platform model to be used prior to use of the work platform, b)
insure that means were used to protect against use by unauthorized use,
c) insure that aerial platforms were used in accordance with the operator's
manual and ANSI/SIA A92.5-1992, copies of which were available on the
lift, and d) insure that work rules regarding mounting and dismounting of
the work platform were developed, implemented and enforced. One
method of abatement, among others, is to insure operators of boom
supported aerial work platforms have been trained on the model of lift to
be used, insure that training and operating procedures include all
provisions in the manufacturer's operation and maintenance manual, and
that responsibilities outlined in ANSI/SIA A92.5-1992 are read and
understood by owners and/or lessors, users, and operators.
