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 drowning and crushing hazards from operating a backhoe on a dock adjacent to a river: (a)River Dock/Platform Area. Employee(s) operated a 1989 Caterpillar 416 backhoe, S/N 5PC08905, on the 22'2" wide elevated dock while clearing trash from six intake racks. Means were not provided to prevent the backhoe from running off the dock edge, on or about March 11, 2008. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to provide a vehicle curb or other positive means to prevent the backhoe from inadvertently going into the river, on or about March 11, 2008.
