General-duty citation text

T.C.A. 50-3-105(1):  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 employer had not developed and/or implemented safe work
practices and/or
procedures, including safe rigging procedures, capacities of equipment and
components, adequate
elevator car suspension, and proper procedures for removal of jack
head/plunger, to protect
employees required to work under a suspended elevator car.
Failure to implement safe work procedures resulted in the overloading and
failure of rigging
components while performing maintenance on a hydraulic elevator, resulting
in an employee
being struck by a falling elevator car.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard
would be to develop, implement, and monitor the use of job specific safe
work
procedures.
