General-duty citation text

Labor and Employment Article, Section 5-104(a): 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:
(a)Date of Violation:06/22/06
Condition:Operators and passengers of the ST 350 Workhorse E-Z-Go utility
vehicles, being
operated on a golf course over hilly terrain to move soil and other loads,
and exposed
to serious injuries and death in the event of a vehicle overturn, had not
been trained in
the safe operating instructions recommended by the manufacturer to
include, but not
limit to, operating the vehicles on slopes, the rated load capacity, and
the center of
gravity of the vehicles.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard is to develop and implement
an employee training program for the safe operation of the Workhorse
E-Z-Go Utility Vehicles in accordance
with the manufacturer's Owner's Manual and Services Guide.
Abatement documentation (photographs, receipts, copies of programs,
training certification, etc.)
