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 the hazard of being crushed by natural stone slabs during the manual handling of the slabs: OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE: 29 CFR 1910.176(b): Material stored in tiers was not stacked, blocked, interlocked or limited in height so that it was stable and secure against sliding and collapse: a. The employer does not furnish employment and a place of employment free from recognized hazards that may cause death or serious physical harm, as evident by the fact that on or about 3/09/2007 sheets of marble and granite were stored in "A" frame racks, or leaning against the racks, and the sheets were not secured to prevent sliding and collapse, exposing employees to the hazard of crushing. To abate the specific violation above, the employer must ensure that sheets of marble and granite are secured to prevent sliding and collapse. AKROPOLIS MARBLE AND GRANITE IMPORTS, INC. WAS PREVIOUSLY CITED FOR A VIOLATION OF THIS OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH STANDARD OR ITS EQUIVALENT STANDARD, SECTION 5(a)(1) OF THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT, WHICH WAS CONTAINED IN OSHA INSPECTION NUMBER 308177229, CITATION NUMBER 1, ITEM NUMBER 1, ISSUED ON 07/06/2006, WITH RESPECT TO A WORKPLACE LOCATED AT 305 EAST CHURCH ROAD, KING OF PRUSSIA, PA 19406. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19(c) and (d), the employer must provide abatement documentation that this specific violation has been abated within 10 calendar days of the abatement date. Among other methods, feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct this hazard is to: (1) Institute and enforcement policy in which employees are required to fix the straps to the slabs when not in use. (2) Support the slabs with heavy nylon straps wrapped around the entire "A" frame rack until the slab is securely supported with the mechanical lifting device. (3) Increase the distance between the racks to account for size of the slabs held in the rack. (4) Have the "A" frame racks use an angled base sufficient to maintain an appropriate angle of the slabs to prevent tip over.nt
