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 crushing hazards:
a)  On or about May 13, 2010 and times prior, employees were exposed to
serious
injuries from being struck and crushed during the transportation and
installation of a floor safe
using unsafe material handing methods.
One feasible and acceptable means of abatement includes developing and
implementing a written
procedure on how and when to properly use cribbing, jack stands, and or
blocks for employees
moving floor safes. Another feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is
to ensure that the floor safe is stable and secured so it cannot fall.
