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 an
employee was exposed a fall hazard:
(a)L&L Design Builders Inc., at 1999 Broadway, Denver, CO 80202:  On
November 14, 2006 an employee was standing on the midrail of a Genie Self-
Propelled Scissors to install drywall soffett.  This condition exposed the
employee to a fall hazard of approximately 32 feet to the concrete floor.
Abatement Note:  American National Standards Institute A92.6-1999,
Self-Propelled
Elevating Work Platforms,  paragraph 8.10(9) directs that personnel shall
stand only on the
platform and not climb on the midrail or toprail.  The paragraph also
prohibits the use of
planks, ladders, or other devices to gain additional height.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard
is to train the employees in the proper use of the scissor lift.  Proper
and safe use of the
scissor lift is detailed in ANSI A92.6-1999.
