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) On or about 1/24/08 at the back dock; fork truck operator engaged in
removal of stuck dock
plate was not wearing or using the seat belt restraint system provided on
the Mitsubishi fork
exposing him to a crushing hazard of falling off or being struck by fork
truck.
Feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct this condition would
be; require seat belt
use by fork truck drivers, establish regular supervisor checks of seat
belt use by fork truck
operators and include this requirement as part of plant fork truck
operating rules.  Reference:
ASME B56.1-1993, Part II, pg 12 paragraph 5.3.19 ( An active operator
protection device or
system, when provided, shall be used.)
