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 a fall of 22 feet while working from an unsafe
platform:
(a)Dohn Construction, Inc. at 1100 Main Street, Windsor, CO 80550:  The
employer did not ensure the employee did not work from an unsafe platform
held aloft by a rough terrain forklift in that two employees worked at
approximately 20 feet high in a platform not lowered when moved for
adjustments in positioning.  This condition exposed the employees to
hazards
of fall of approximately 20 feet.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard
is to provide a personnel platform which complies with the design
requirements as per
ASME B56.6-1992, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers - An
American National
Standard - Safety Standard for Rough Terrain Forklift Trucks, paragraphs
5.15 and 8.2.
