employer did not furnish
employmnent 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:
On the south side of the job site at the intersection of Foote and SR 18
in Medina, two employees of
Carrington Construction were exposed to a fall hazard when working 20'
high in a field fabricated plywood
box extended by a rough terrain forklift. This condition did not meet the
design and use requirements of
ASME B56.6 Section 5.15.1 (a) in the following areas: 1) On the forks of
the rough terrain lift the company
did not have the employee on a personnel platform that complied with the
design requirements listed in Part
III of the ASME B56.6-2002 Standard.
Among other methods a feasible and acceptable means of abatement of these
hazards are to use a safer
alternate method such as the use of a platform approved by the manufacture
meeting the requirements of
ASME B56.6-2002 for the attachments on rough terrain lifts.n
