Initial $2500.00 · Current $100.00 Reduced

General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not
furnish employmnent 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:
Being struck-by falling loads.
a) Within the establishment, located at 5977 S. Third St. in Waco, Texas.
On or about March 4, 2008, and times prior thereto, the employer did not
ensure that the U-bolt
clips were installed so that the "U" section was in contact with the dead
end of the rope of the
rigging winch cable on the 500, 600, and 700 series drill rigs, exposing
employees to being
struck-by fallen loads. A #500 Series rig was equipped with three clips
but the dead end of of
the rope was being saddled, exposing employees to being struck-by falling
loads.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means to abate this
hazard is to correctly
apply the clip in accordance with ANSI/ASME B30.5 Mobile and Locomotive
Cranes,
Handbook of Rigging for Construction and Industrial Operations, and 29 CFR
1926.251 Rigging
Equipment for Material Handling Standard" and to perform daily and monthly

rigging equipment which would include wire rope, hooks, fittings, clips,
attachments, hardware,
and rigs.
