Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer does not furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from the recognized hazard of being struck-by or caught-between the rotating superstructure of a crane which is causing or is likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees: This violation most recently occurred on or about October 10, 2010, at the Eustace Gas Plant located at 16401 CR 2854, Eustace, Texas 75124, when the employer operated a Grove, 14- ton, rough terrain, hydraulic crane (serial #39227) without erecting and maintaining control lines, warning lines, railings or similar barriers to mark the boundaries of the swing radius. Among other methods, feasible and acceptable methods to correct this hazard are comply with page 4 of the manufacturer's handbook which states, "SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, Never get on or off a machine in motion;" paragraph 5-3.2.1.5(a)(4) of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B30.5 - 2007, Mobile and Locomotive Cranes Safety Standard for Cableways, Cranes, Derricks, Hoists, Hooks, Jacks, and Slings which states, "The person directing the lift shall see that all persons are clear of the swing radius of the crane counterweight;" and/or, paragraph 4 on page 3 of the Construction Industry Manufacturers' Association, Crane Safety Manual for Users, Operators and Maintenance Personnel which states, "Be Sure there is adequate clearance for tail swing. Barricade the area to prevent entry..." Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date, the employer must submit an abatement plan describing the actions it is taking to establish, communicate, and implement written procedures to erect and maintain control lines, warning lines, railings or similar barriers to mark the boundaries of the swing radius of cranes.
