General-duty citation text
Nevada Revised Statute 618.375(1): Duties of employers. Every employer shall furnish employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his or her employees: The employer failed to ensure that an employee was working from an elevated work platform according to the manufacturer's specifications, as follows: a)At the Las Vegas Rock construction site, there were two instances in which two individual employees were standing on the guardrails of the basket of a scissor lift, while connecting beams during steel erection at a height ranging from 18-20 feet. One employee was wearing a harness with a lanyard attached, yet was exposed to falling over the guardrails of the lift. The other employee was not wearing a harness. Both employees were exposed to fall hazards as a result of not maintaining a secure footing on the platform of the scissor lift. - Reference: ANSI/SIA A92.6-1990: Self Propelled Elevating Work Platforms. Paragraph 8.10.1 Personnel Footing. Personnel shall maintain a firm footing on the platform floor while working thereon. Use of planks, ladders, or any other devices on the platform for achieving additional height or reach shall be prohibited. - Reference: Operating Manual (Skyjack scissor lift, model: SJ6826RT): Page 11: DO NOT sit, stand or climb on the guardrails. It is prohibited. One feasible and acceptable means of abatement method is to ensure that employees follow all safety rules on the proper operation of scissor lifts.
