General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer is failing to protect employees from potential fall hazards associated with employees walking/working on top of rail cars 15'6"tall without fall protection. The most recent example of this was found on the job site located at 7940 N. Hayland Ave, Prosser, NE 68883 where the employer has employees climbing on top of the grain rail cars without fall protection to open the hatches in preparation of filling them with grain product. Among other methods, feasible and acceptable methods of abatement are: 1. Implement a rail car loading plan that mandates no employee climb on top of a rail car unless protected against fall hazards by conventional fall protection. 2. Train employees on the use of fall protection and the recognition of hazards associated with falls and eliminate the confusion of employees climbing on rail cars provided those cars are not hooked to any form of power such as a locomotive by mandating 100% fall protection at all times. 3. Work with the manufacturers of the railcars and or rolling stock to ensure that fall protection equipment is able to be in place and used by employees accessing the tops of the railcars and or rolling stock while walking/working on them. Abatement certification and abatement documentation is required for this violation. The documentation should include written verification of abatement, applicable measurements or monitoring results, and photographs or videos which you believe will be helpful. The abatement certification sheet is enclosed with the citations.
