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:
On or about October 8, 2008 with respect to the jobsite located at 1730 S
Hazel in Pine
Bluff, Arkansas where employees were engaged in masonry activities at the
new addition
to the South East Arkansas University complex. Employees were operating a
Lull - JLG
Model 944E42 RTFL rough terrain forklift. The employees were not wearing
the seat
belts provided by the manufacturer, a condition that exposed the employees
to the
hazards of being caught in during a roll over. One feasible and acceptable
abatement
method, among others, is to have operators fasten the seat belt while
operating
equipment. (Reference: ASME B56.6-2002 Paragraph 6.2.1 Before starting to
operate
the rough terrain forklift truck: (a) be in the operating position and
fasten the seat belt,
if so equipped.)
