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 a fall from the top of the
shavings trailer:
(a)     On June 8, 2006, and at times prior thereto, the employer failed
to take steps to ensure that no
employee stood on the top of the trailer to tarp the load of shavings
without fall protection, exposing the
employee to a fall hazard of at least 12.8 feet from the top of the
shavings trailer.
Among other methods, some feasible means of abatement would be:
1. Develop and enforce a policy prohibiting access to tops of trailers.
2. Use fall protection, including, but not limited to providing cat walks
with guard rails, or a full body harness
and lanyard that are properly secured or a ladder and rake to level the
load prior to tarping..
NOTE: ABATEMENT CERTIFICATION AND DOCUMENTATION IS REQUIRED.TION
