Abate by

Penalty
Initial $2,000 · Current $1,000 Reduced
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 struck-by hazards while lifting and transporting a mold to
the DISA
(Core/Mold) machine:
In the Core Department an employee was using a spreader bar with four
chains and hooks, an
under the hook device, in conjunction with an overhead hoist to lift a
mold on the table of a
DISA, Core Machine, and was exposed to a falling mold and struck-by hazard
due to the
unknown rated load capacity and lack of a periodic inspection on the
spreader bar.
Among other methods, once feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is
to follow the guidelines in the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) B30.20-2006,
Section 20-1.2.1 wherein it specifies that below the hook lifting devices
must be capable of
lifting loads within its rated load capacity, which must be marked so as
to inform the user to
prevent overloading and failure of the device.  The employer can also
determine during the
periodic inspection of these devices that the rated load capacity is
marked and used within its
rated load capacity on specified loads.ied
