General-duty citation text

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 struck-by
hazard while
directing the flow of heavy equipment vehicles:
On or about 11/08/07, at the Sun Recycling Facility III, a signaling
flagger assigned to direct
traffic at the entrance of the unloading area, was not wearing a high
visbility warning garment.
Among others, one feasible and acceptable method of abatement is to have
the flagger direct the
flow of traffic from a designated spot and enforce the use of high
visbility warning garments that
conform to Part VI of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices which
are incorporated
by reference in 1926.200(g)(2).
PLEASE NOTE:  CERTIFICATION AND DOCUMENTATION OF ABATEMENT IS NOT
REQUIRED FOR THIS VIOLATION.
