General-duty citation text

SCRR 71-112A: Failed to furnish a place of employment which is free of
recognized hazards
which may cause death or serious physical harm to his employees and comply
with this
regulation and other occupational safety and health rules and regulations
promulgated under
Chapter 15 of Title 41, Code of Laws, State of South Carolina, 1976, as
amended, as
follows:
A.  Employer knew or should have known that employees raising, unlatching,
and lowering
utility trailer lid, on west side of building, were exposed to the hazard
of having parts of
their bodies struck by the lid and/or caught between the lid and bed.  A
feasible and useful
method to correct this hazard, among other methods, is to cut an access
opening in the front
of the bed to allow safe access to the latch mechanism and install grab
handles on the outside
of the lid which would allow employees to keep their hands from between
the lid and the
bed.
