General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish 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 being struck by a tipping crane. On or about September 24, 2010, the employer did not ensure that the manufacturer's operating instructions for the Link-Belt Hydraulic Truck Crane, Model HTC #8640, were followed. (A) The horizontal radius from the axis of rotation to the column that the concrete was to be poured was not determined prior to conducting lifting operations. (B) During concrete bucket operations, the load exceeded 80% of the rated lifting capacity. (C) The operator relied on the MicroGuard 434 Rated Capacity Limiter, an operational aid that was set to rigging/travel mode, to shut the crane down when it reached the maximum capacity while lifting a 6100lb concrete bucket. Among other feasible and acceptable means of abatement one method of abatement would be to follow the manufacturer's instructions in the Link Belt HTC-8640 operator and crane rating manuals.
