General-duty citation text

Nevada Revised Statute 618.375(1): 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 the workplace was free from recognized
hazards as follows:
a.An employee operated a Segway X2 personal transport, in the performance
of his
job duties at the Borgata Condominium complex. When the employee was
operating the Segway the maximum payload of 260 pounds was exceeded.  The
employee weighed approximately 311 pounds, not including additional cargo.
Exceeding the machine's payload can effect the stability of the machine,
exposing
the employee to possible serious injury.
One feasible means of abatement would be to follow the recommendations of
the owner's
manual, which states the following:
a. Warning, Exceeding the weight limits, especially when combined with
other variables that
require more power, will increase your risk of falling or damaging the
Segway PT.
b. Table 2. Segway Specifications for the X2 list the max payload (rider
plus all cargo) at 260
pounds.
