General-duty citation text

HAR  12-60-2(a)(3) was violated because:
The floor in  the ice cream freezer was covered with ice, thus exposing
the employee to a slip hazard which
could result in serious injuries or death.
12-60-2(a)(3) states " Every employer shall provide safe work places and
practices by elimination or reduction
of existing or potential hazards. Elimination of existing or potential
hazards by design, process substitution, or
other appropriate methods is preferred because it eliminates the need for
further employee protection. When
elimination is not feasible, reduction of existing or potential hazards to
acceptable levels, using methods such as
engineering or administrative controls, isolation, or guarding, shall be
promptly used. When these methods are
inadequate to reach acceptable levels, personal protective equipment shall
be provided and used."
Location: Ice cream freezer
