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 in that employees were exposed to the
hazard of being struck by unsecured and
unstable loads:
a) On site , trailer stripping area - employees of this company are
exposed to being struck from
unstable and unsecured loads of returns from the stores when entering the
trailers. This hazard has
been created by another employer that services this facility by doing
deliveries and picking up returns,
on or about 11/21/05.
One means of feasible abatement, among others, is to keep employees out of
the trailers when loads are not
secure or appear to be unstable until the situation can be addressed by
management personnel.
