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 a fall hazard: On the east side of the warehouse where the Harmony baler is located, employee(s) are exposed to a fall hazard when using a defective ladder for access and egress to the ten-foot deep concrete pit located underneath the conveyor to the baler. The defects on the ladder were, such as, but not limited to, split and cracked side rails and missing shoes on both of the bottom rails, causing the ladder to wobble and be unstable. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard would be to implement an inspection schedule and procedure for all ladders and withdraw any defective ladders from service.
