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 drowning
hazards:
On or about 9/14/2010, at 8080 NW 10th Court, in Plantation, Florida, on
the canal side of
building 14, employees operating Wright Stander ZK (models WSZK52 31KAWE
and WSZK61
31KAWE) standing lawn mowers near the body of water were exposed to
drowning hazards.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazardous
condition would be to instruct employees to use the equipment as specified
in the operator's
manual; and to ensure that lawn mowers are operated away from the edges of
the canal banks.
PLEASE NOTE: DOCUMENTATION AND CERTIFICATION OF ABATEMENT IS
REQUIRED FOR THIS VIOLATION.
