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 struck by the excavator:
(a)At the north side of the project, employees operated a Samsung
excavator to excavate
coral soil.  Nuts and bolts were used as pins to secure the bucket to the
excavator instead
of the pins originally provided by the manufacturer to secure the bucket.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct the
hazards is:
1.) To follow the association of Equipment Manufacturer's (AEM) "Safety
Manual for
Operating and Maintenance Personnel" which requires that damaged and
missing parts
were repaired or replaced,
2.) To follow the Association of Equipment Manufacturer's Operator Manual
by using
only service parts meeting manufacturer specifications, and
3.) To train operators and maintenance personnel to inspect equipment for
defects and
to complete service and repairs before equipment was placed back into
service.
