(a)Skyline Products Inc, at 4530 Highway 6 and 24, De Beque, CO: On
8/18/10, Skyline Products Inc 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 a fall hazard.  One employee utilized a Sky Hook model 85
HD telescoping boom crane with attached personnel platform to ascend to the
platform of a truck stop billboard.  The employee was not wearing a body
harness nor was he tied off to the boom's anchor point.  This condition
exposed the employee to an approximate thirty foot fall hazard.
Abatement Note:  Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable
abatement method to
correct this hazard is to comply with ASME B30.23-1998, American Society

Engineers (ASME), An American National Standard, "Personnel Lifting
Systems".
