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 was 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) St Matthews Episcopal Church: Employees were exposed to a potential fall or tipping hazard when working from a platform due to the excessive width of the platform. The width of the platform was approximately 12 feet and the width of the forklift wheel base was approximately 8 feet. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard while using an all terrain forklift for personnel to work from is to follow the requirements set forth in the ASME B56.6-2002 which states: 8.24 Platforms for elevating Personnel 8.24.1(b): Floor dimensions which shall not exceed two times the load center distance listed on the rough terrain forklift truck nameplate, measured parallel to the longitudinal center plane of the truck, nor have a width greater than the overall width of the truck [measured across the load bearing tires plus 10 in.(250 mm) on either side]. Minimum space for each person on the platform shall not be less than 18 in. (450 mm) in either direction.
