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, the yard
where the forklifts travel is not level (large holes in its surface),
exposing employees to crushing
injuries in the event of a forklift tip-over or other accident:
a) On or about September 7, 2007 and times prior, employees operating
forklifts were exposed
to crushing injuries. There were holes in the yard surface that a forklift
could easily travel into
because of their (the holes) location and obscurity.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard
would be to develop a reporting/audit system to search out this
conditions, then install temporary
protection (i.e. covers, barricades, etc.) until a permanent fix can be
installed.
