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 falling.  On or about January 14, 2010, and at
times thereto,
at the work-site located at 611 Columbia Street in Helena, Arkansas,
employees working
from a self-propelled elevating work platform [Upright Model XRT 33 S/N
2810] were
exposed to injuries from falls should the scissor lift malfunction causing
a collapse,
overturn or other adverse action because the employer/user did not ensure
or
cause an
annual inspection to be performed on the lift prior to use.  One feasible
method of
abatement, among others is to ensure or cause annual inspections to be
performed in
accordance with Section 6.7, ANNUAL INSPECTION of the American National
Standard Institute, ANSI/SIA A92.6-1999.
