General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of Public Law 91-596, 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 struck-by hazards: due to
possible overloading
of hoists and/or loads being dropped due to the absence of rated loads for
the "Below the
Hook Lifting Devices" not been conspicuously displayed on the device(s)
and no inspection
of the devices were being conducted and documented at required times
and/or intervals:
(a)On or about April 17, 2008 at the worksite there were no rated load
markings
visible on the main structure and no identification plates which listed:
1. manufacturer's name and address,
2. serial number of the device,
3. lifter weight if over 100 lb (45 kg),
4. rated load,
on the "Below-The-Hook Lifting Devices (Plate Clamp): First Stringout area.
[Reference Section 20-1.2.1(a) & (b) of American National Standard, ASME
B30.20b-1996, Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices.
(b)On or about April 17, 2008 at the worksite the Below-the-Hook lifting
devices
being used in the first stringout area had not been inspected nor had
records of
required inspections been maintained.  [Reference Section 20-1.3
Inspection of
American National Standard, ASME B30.20b-1996, Below-the-Hook Lifting
Devices.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this
hazard is to: (1) stencil a clearly visible load rating on each
"Below-the-Hook" lifting
device main structure, (2) affix an identification plate to each
"Below-the-Hook"
lifting device which includes the information required by (a) 1,2,3, & 4
above and (3)
conduct and document inspections as required by Section 20-1.3 of ASME
