General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not
furnish to each of his employees 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 equipment roll over hazards:
On May 31, 2011, at the 18th fairway, employees were exposed to equipment
roll over
hazards due to lack of seat belt usage while employees operated a ROPS
equipped Toro
Groundsmaster 4000-D, MN 30410, SN 220000566 near slopes, banks, and drop
offs.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this
hazardous condition would be to require operators to wear the seat belt as
described in "Toro
Groundsmaster 4000-D Groundsmaster Traction Unit Model No. 30410 - Serial
No.
220000201 and Up Operator's Manual."
Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with the
requirements of 29
