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 vehicular traffic:
Location: Rte 119 in Front of 155 White Plains Rd Tarrytown NY 10591
On or about 7/23/08,
a) Employees performing maintenance on several traffic lights in an
intersection with a vehicle
mounted aerial lift were exposed to the hazard of being struck by
vehicular traffic.
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.
Among other methods, a feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct
this hazard is to
follow the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and
Highways 2003 Edition
which describes how to set up for a closure in the center of an
intersection.
