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 struck-by hazards: Frequent and periodic inspections were not performed on the Yale 4000-lb; Nitchi 2-Ton; and the Budgit/Wright-Way 1000-lb overhead hoists. Employees were exposed to struck-by hazards associated with falling loads and/or an overloaded hoist. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method is: Perform frequent and periodic inspections as required by ASME B30.16-2007 - OVERHEAD HOISTS, Section 16-2.1.2 and 16-2.1.3. Inspections include, but are not limited to, controls and operating mechanisms for improper operations; safety devices for malfunctions; deterioration or leakage in air systems; and, deformations, chemical damage, or cracks in hooks. 29 CFR 1903.19(c)(1) requires certification that the abatement of the above violation is completed.
