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: a. On or about August 7, 2008, at the above addressed jobsite, employees were using a Hitachi Zaxis 200 LC hydraulic excavator with a chain installed around the excavator arm attached to a wrecking ball. The employees were thereby exposed to struck by hazards created by an improperly secured load (wrecking ball). One feasible and acceptable method of abatement, among others, to correct the hazard would be to comply with the operators manual which states "Never move a load quickly...Fasten sling/chain to bucket loop, with the bucket curled and arm retracted" In addition, the Equipment Manufactures Institute, safety manual for operators and mechanics hydraulic excavator states "Attach chains and slings to the manufacturer's designated lifting points on the excavator bucket."r
