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 getting parts of their body caught between
fixed structures and
a dock leveling device:
Location: 701 Zerega Ave Bronx, NY 10473
On or about 10/5/10,
a) A dock leveling device's side guards did not extend the full operating
range of its platform
travel.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct the hazard is
to follow ANSI Standard MH30.1-2000 section 4.3.2 which states "A
smooth-faced toe guard
shall be provided on the sides of the dock leveling device through the
full recess length for the
full operating range of platform travel. A toe guard shall also be
provided
for the rear edge of
the dock leveling device if the edge is vertically movable. The guards
shall be rigid enough to
restrict placement of a foot under the platform.
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.
