Section 5(a)1 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:
The employer did not furnish to each of his employees 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 employees were exposed to:
(a)On or about 07/24/07, employees were exposed to the hazard of being run
over as the
Marine Travelift mobile boat hoist was being operated in the vicinity of
employees
without personnel-deflecting guards around the leading edges of front and
rear wheels.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method is to
install
personnel-deflecting guards around the leading edges of front and rear
wheels. Deflecting
guards should extend from the wheels and be designed in such a manner as
to push
persons out of the way of an oncoming vehicle and not be capable of
running them over.
