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 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 the hazard of being struck by an excavator:
Location: Harris Park Bronx NY
On or about 5/14/08,
a) A means to prevent employees from entering the swing radius of an
excavator was not
provided.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means to correct the
hazard is to comply with
the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) for Hydraulic Excavators
which states:
"Before starting to excavate, set up safety barriers to the sides and rear
area of your swing
pattern to prevent anyone from walking into the working area."
NOTE: Because abatement of this violation is already documented in the
inspection case
file, the employer need not submit certification or documentation of
abatement for this
violation as normally required by 29 CFR 1903.19.
