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 hazards of being struck by a 250 pound post being lifted by a aerial lift. North side of the building- On July 2, 2007 at 10:00 am, an employee was using a JLG, model number 600AJ, serial number 0300111558, as a crane to lift a 250 pound 14 foot 6 inch long PVC post, which exposed the employee in the basket to a hazard of being crushed between the guardrail and the ceiling of the building, and exposed the employees under the lift and post to being struck by either the post and/or the lift itself; this action was against manufacturers' recommendations (Section 1, page 1-7 of the owner's manual for the JLG, Model Number 600AJ aerial lift); according to consensous standard ANSI A92,5 1980, Section 13.2.1 the work platform shall be used in accordance with the manufacturers'/owners operating instructions and safety rules. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to abate this hazard is for the employer to use a crane to lift the post into place. ABATEMENT DOCUMENTATION IS REQUIRED FOR THIS ITEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
