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:
(a) Near the intersection of Washington Street and 44th Avenue South,
Grand Forks,
ND, where the work platform supported by an all terrain forklift exceeded
the overall
outside width of the forklift wheel base by more than 10 inches on either
side and
exposed the employee on the work platform to a potential fall hazard of
approximately
12 feet.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this
hazard is to follow the guidelines set forth by ANSI B56.6 Safety Standard
for Rough
Terrain Forklift Trucks, Section 8.25.1(b), which states:  "The platform
shall not have
a width greater than the overall width of the truck measured across the
load bearing tires
plus 10 inches (250 mm) on either side."
