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:
a) Employees were exposed to being struck by falling loads or by a
displaced/falling lifting
device and/or components in that the structural lifting unit and stirrups
in the No-Bake Area used
to lift mold flasks in conjunction with the Cleveland Tramrail were not
designed and rated to
determine their ability to withstand the stresses applied and to ensure
that load attachment means
allowed for proper distribution of the load and were not subject to
displacement.
One feasible means of abatement would be to comply with the requirements
for the construction,
marking, operation, maintenance and inspection of Structural and
Mechanical Lifting Devices,
Chapter 20-1, of ANSI B30.20-2003, "Below The Hook Lifting Devices".
