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:
On or about January 02, 2009, and times prior thereto, employees were
exposed to being struck
by and/or crushed by steel columns being lifted due to chocker hitch
polyester slings not being
protected from sharp edges on steel columns.
Among other methods, two feasible and acceptable methods of correcting
this hazard include,
but are not limited to (1) Using slings specifically designed for use with
materials having sharp
edges and corners or (2) padding the slings with material of sufficient
strength to minimize
damage to the sling. Reference ANSI/ASME B30.9 (Slings), Section 9-5.5
