Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The
employer did not
furnish a place of employment which was 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/caught-between hazards and related crush injuries from
falling materials as a
result of working under a suspended load.
(a)Westward Dough Operating Co., LLC dba Krispy Kreme & 1051 E.
120th Ave, Thornton, CO 80233: On or before July 21, 2010, employees
were exposed to injury in that,they were allowed to work under a suspended
load. During the weekly Fryer Cleaning/Boil Out procedure, employees were
allowed work under the  suspended fryer/conveyer assembly in order to
remove debris from the oil vat.  This condition exposed the employees to
struck-by/caught-between hazards related to a falling suspended load
weighing
approximately 500 lbs.
Abatement Note: Abatement certification and documentation is required for
this item (see
enclosed "Sample Abatement Certification Letter").
This issue is addressed in ASME B30.21-2005, Manually Lever Operated
Hoists, Section 21-
1.8.3(q), "The operator should avoid carrying loads over people" and in
the Operating &
Maintenance Instruction for Coffing Hoists MA Series from Duff-Norton,
Publication Part
No. MA-680-2, page 31, "Do not lift loads over people" and "Do make sure
all persons stay
clear of the supported load."
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard
is to use stands or other stationary, fixed devices to support the load,
rather than use the
hoist to suspend the load above the employees while they perform work
underneath.
