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 crushing injuries:
Employees working in M1, M2, and M3 are exposed to the hazard of being
crushed by a
load suspended from the Harrington hoists located above the hoppers
because the lifting
devices are not marked with the rated load where it was visible and a
nameplate of the
permanent marking is not affixed on the lifting device containing the
manufacturer name and
address, serial number, lifter weight and the rated load.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard
is to mark the rated load of the lifting device on the main structure
where it is visible and
affix a nameplate or other permanent marking displaying the manufacturer's
name and
address, serial number, lift weight and rated load in accordance with ASME
B30.20-2010,
American Society of Mechanical Engineers for Below-the-Hook Lifting
Devices, Section 20-
1.2.1.
The employer did not ensure the lifting devices were marked with the rated
load where it
was visible and a nameplate of the permanent marking was affixed on the
lifting device
containing the manufacturer's name and address, serial number, lifter
weight and the rated
load.  To abate this violation, the employer must ensure the lifting
devices are marked with
the rated load where it is visible and a nameplate of the permanent
marking is affixed on the
lifting device containing the manufacturer's name and address, serial
number, lifter weight
and the rated load and that no employee uses the lifting devices until
such changes have been
made.
Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, the employer must submit documents describing
the steps it is
taking to ensure compliance, including removal of the unmarked lifting
devices and
installation and use of appropriately marked lifting devices.
