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 struck-by and crushing hazards:
(a) Location - Harbor Street, Salem, MA:
On or about 10/13/09, the employer failed to adequately train employees to
operate and
work around a Labrie Top Select recycling truck.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means to correct this
hazard is to
develop a clear, concise work rule pertaining to all safety aspects of
working with and
around the recycling truck including hydraulic bucket safety.  Train and
retrain all
personnel accordingly.
