employees in that employees
were exposed to:
Date: June 15, 2007
Location: 155 Howell Bridge Road, Ballground, Georgia
Equipment: JLG Aerial Lift, Model 400S, S/N 334622
Condition: Two employees were observed working at an elevation of
approximately 16 feet
above the ground and they were not restrained in the basket of the aerial
lift in such a manner
that they would remain in the basket. (ANS/SIA A92.2-1990, Section 10.2)
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means of abatement to
correct this hazard
is to:
Provide each employee working in the basket with a harness and lanyard.
In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required

included with
your certification.  This documentation may include, but is not limited
to, evidence of the
purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video evidence of
abatement, or other
written records.
