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 the hazard of being caught in an elevator fall:
Location: 363 Huguenot St New Rochelle NY 10801
On or about 7/16/09,
a) A freight elevator ran down hard into the pit springs with 6 workers on
it when it was
overloaded. The load capacity plate was painted over.
Among other methods, feasible and acceptable means of abatement would be
to have a readily
legible capacity plate as required by ASME A 17.3-1993 Safety Code for
Existing Elevators and
Escalators section 3.7.4 (b) and to train employees to recognize and
determine loads being
placed on elevators to ensure the elevator's capacity is not exceeded.
NOTE: Because abatement of this violation is already documented in the
inspection
case
file, the employer need not submit certification or documentation of
abatement for this
violation as normally required by 29 CFR 1903.19.
