General-duty citation text

Nevada Revised Statute 618.375(1):  Every employer did not furnish
employment and a place
of employment which was free from recognized hazards that were causing or
were likely to
cause death or serious physical harm to his employees:
The employer did not protect employees as follows:
a.At 4600 Spring Mountain Road, on the south side of the building,
employees used
an unapproved scaffold platform attached to a rough terrain forklift to
lift
materials and to access the roof which was approximately 18 feet high,
exposing
the employees to hazards if the scaffold or forklift were to fail.  It was
not
necessary for the rough terrain forklift to be used to lift the employees.
The
platform was open on the front side, lacking railings, and the employees
did not
use any type of restraining means such as a harness and lanyard.  An
employee
entered the platform from the roof instead of at floor level.
Reference ANSI/ITSDF B56.6-2005 part II for the user:
Paragraph 5.15.1 - a rough terrain forklift shall not be used to lift
people unless
there is no other practical option.
Paragraph 5.15.1(k) - be certain that required straining means such as
railings,
chains, cable, body belt(s) with lanyards(s), etc., are in place and
properly used.
Paragraph 5.15.1(w) - platform shall be lowered to floor level for
personnel to
enter and exit.
One feasible means of abatement would be to follow the requirements of
ANSI/ITSDF B56.6-
20056-
