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
were likely to
cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were
exposed to struck
by / caught between hazards.
On or about 10/28/2010, at the entrance to Carriage Pointe Apartments 8687
NW 44th
Court, Coral Springs, FL, 33065, employees who guide motor vehicles
through traffic lanes
of a gate were exposed to tripping on a concrete median.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this
hazardous condition would be to paint the curbs yellow as identified by
the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z53.1 and removing a section, 4 feet
in width from the
curb to provide a pathway for security guards.
PLEASE NOTE: CERTIFICATION AND DOCUMENTATION OF ABATEMENT IS
