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 loads being dropped due to the use of an
unapproved below-the-
hook lifting device.
(a)Assembly Area, 8 Bolt Cell 2 - On or about February 15, 2008 employees
were
using a shop-made below-the-hook lifting device (master link with a
shanked hook) to lift
and move assembled power-takeoff housed units. This device did not have a
rated load
displayed. Reference Section 20-1.2.1 of ANSI/ASME B30.20-1993 for
Below-the-Hook
Lifting Devices.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is
to either load test and tag the existing device, or purchase a compliant
J-hook.
