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 the
pendant control for the single girder, underhung crane used to move steel
components had
unlabeled control buttons exposing employees to serious struck-by injuries
if the crane
operator moved the material in an unintentional direction.
(a)Davidson Brown 3454 Silica Road, Sylvania, OH:  On or about September
27,
2007, the employer did not ensure that the pendant control buttons were
properly
labeled for the 3 ton single girder, underhung crane used to move steel
components in
the fabrication area.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard is to ensure
the pendant control buttons are properly labeled as to their function
according
to ASME
B30,11-1998 "Monorails and Underhung Cranes."
In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required
for this
violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET),
and in addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete
must be
included with your certification.  This documentation may include, but is
not limited to,
evidence of the purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video
evidence of
abatement, or other written records.
