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 hazard of a "struck by" injury: a) DHS Drilling Company, Vega 33-441, Collbran, CO: On or about 8/30/2006, the employer's rough terrain forklift was operating with a broken safety device. The fork "stop" mechanism to prevent the fork from inadvertently coming off the mast carriage was broken off. Condition exposed employees to struck by hazards. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to ensure that a trained individual inspects the forks on the machine as found in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) B56.2005 edition titled Safety Standards for Rough Terrain Forklift Trucks. Abatement Note: Abatement certification is not required for this item.
