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

exposed to falling from an elevated forklift platform:
Employees perform inventory of palletized stacks of cases of beverage
products by standing on
a pallet without fall protection, up to approximately 10 feet. The pallet
provided by the employer
to raise personnel with the use of a Yale forklift was not appropriate for
such tasks.  Among
other means, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this
hazards is: Utilize
safety platforms that meet the requirements of American Society of
Mechanical Engineers,
ASME B56.1-2000, Safety Standard for Low Lift and High Lift Trucks,
Section 7.36 entitled
Elevating Platforms.
NOTE: Because abatement of this violation is already documented in the
casefile , the employer
need not submit certification nor documentation of abatement of this
violation as normally
required by 29 CFR 1903.19.
