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 fall hazards.
At 370 Harman Street, Brooklyn NY, 11237
On or about 6/11/2008:
a)An employee was riding the site dumbwaiter elevator, which was not
approved
for passengers, when the chain broke causing the dumbwaiter to free fall
30 ft,
injuring the employee.
b) The employees were exposed to the un-inspected dumbwaiter elevator while
transporting deliveries to and from the first floor and second floor of
the building.
The employer did not develop and implement inspection, maintenance and
service
schedules for safety devices and critical components of the dumbwaiter to
ensure
the elevator would not fail.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means of abatement
would be to implement regularly scheduled preventative maintenance and
inspections to comply with the American National Standards (ANSI)
chapter, "Safety Code for Elevators", section 1001 "Tests and Inspections
of Existing Installations" that states:
1)A1001.1a "Inspection Periods"
It is recommended that periodic inspections and tests be made at intervals
not longer than 12 months for power freight elevators, hand elevators and
power and hand dumbwaiters."
NOTE: IN ADDITION TO ABATEMENT CERTIFICATION, THE EMPLOYER
IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT ABATEMENT DOCUMENTATION FOR THIS
ITEM, FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN AN ADDITIONAL PENALTY
OF $1,000.00 AS PER 29 CFR 1903.19.
