General-duty citation text
29 CFR 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 are exposed to struck by hazards. Second Floor of the MD Area in the facility at 2100 Overland Dr., Scottsbluff, NE - The company is using overhead and hoists to maneuver loads and equipment throughout the plant. The hooks on some of these lifting devices are missing the safety latch necessary to ensure the load does not slip off the hook during an unpredictable shift or quick stop of the equipment. This issue exists in areas including, but are not limited to the south end of the second floor of the MD area. Among other methods, feasible and acceptable methods of abatement are: 1) Ensure that the hooks on all overhead hoists are installed and maintained in serviceable condition. 2) Develop and implement an inspection protocol pertaining to the overhead and gantry cranes in the facility to ensure the cranes are kept in serviceable condition at all times. Abatement certification is required for this violation. The abatement certification sheet is enclosed with the citations.ion
