General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)1 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:
The employer did not furnish to each of his employees 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 the hazard of
falling or being
crushed:
On or about May 12, 2010, at 350 Lincoln Road in Miami, FL two employees
were using the
forks of a powered industrial truck to descend from a 9 feet wooden
balcony platform exposing
the employees to the hazard of a fall or being crushed.
Among other methods of abatement, one feasible and acceptable method to
correct the hazard
is to follow the forklift operator's manual which states in writing "DO
NOT permit riders on
the forks or pallet" and "Use only specialized equipment designed to
safely raise personnel to
high work areas!"; furthermore, the equipment has a label located on the
left side of the mast
indicating not to climb on the forks.
PLEASE NOTE: CERTIFICATION OF ABATEMENT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS
VIOLATION.
