General-duty citation text

HAR 12-60-2(a)(3) was violated because:
The employer failed to control employees from entering the area of at
least the fully
extended articulating boom system length around an Altec LRV60-E70 aerial
device vehicle
when its articulating boom system was being operated and tested by a
mechanic on April 7,
2011.  An employee that was not involved with the operation and testing of
the vehicle
entered the operation/testing area and sustained fatal injuries.  The
employee was struck by a
falling upper boom section when the vehicle experienced a failure in its
hydraulic articulating
boom system.
12-60-2(a)(3) states "Every employer shall provide safe work places and
practices
by
elimination or reduction of existing or potential hazards.  Elimination of
existing or potential
hazards by design, process substitution, or other appropriate methods is
preferred because it
eliminates the need for further employee protection.  When elimination is
not feasible,
reduction of existing or potential hazards to acceptable levels, using
methods such as
engineering or administrative controls, isolation, or guarding, shall be
promptly used.  When
these methods are inadequate to reach acceptable levels, personal
protective equipment shall
be provided and used."
Abatement Note:  Abatement documentation, such as written, videographic or
photographic
evidence of abatement, is required.
