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 being crushed by a forklift in the event of a
rollover/tipping.
a- AGFA Corporation, 400 Heller Park Crt, Dayton, NJ - The employer failed
to require
employees to wear restraint devices (i.e.- seatbelts) when operating a
forklift, exposing
them to a crushing hazard in the event of a rollover/tipping.
Condition noted on or about 3/1/2011.
Among other means, one feasible and acceptable method to correct the
hazard would be
for the company to require employees to utilize the seat belts and add
this requirement
to the employee's training program.
