General-duty citation text

North Carolina General Statute 95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety and
Health Act of North Carolina:  The
employer did not furnish each of his employees conditions of employment
and a place of employment 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 and crush injuries.
a)establishment, bay #1 - where employees worked under the surface-mounted
Challenger/Hennessy/Ammco vehicle lift - (Model #B4120SW-Serial
#P960722843H) had a W-K Industries Air-Up Series Jack-Pneumatic Rolling
Jack (unknown model number and serial
number) while the guide pins were not functioning to lock the lift into
place when raised. The
guide pins were incorrectly positioned in such a way that the
spring-loaded safety locks could
not engage into the notches to prevent the lift from slipping.
b)establishment, bay #1 - where employees worked under the surface-mounted
Challenger/Hennessy/Ammco vehicle lift - (Model #B4120SW-Serial
#P960722843H) that had
a vehicle that was not chocked or blocked at the wheels to prevent the
vehicle from
inadvertently rolling off the lift.
c)establishment, bay #1 - where employees worked under the surface-mounted
Challenger/Hennessy/Ammco vehicle lift - (Model #B4120SW-Serial
#P960722843H) where
the safety latch locking pin on the lift was not properly seated in the
latch rack.
Abatement note:
One feasible and acceptable abatement method, among others, to correct
this hazard is to provide all
operators with operator training to recognize hazards and to ensure that
the lift is not used until repairs
have been made.
