Section 5(a)1 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish to each of his employees 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: At The Hinckley Company, Stuart, FL. a.On or about 2/17/2011, an employee was exposed to caught by/struck by hazards while roller painting small portions of the bottom of a boat while the boat was suspended in the air by a Marine Travelift Mobile Crane/Hoist (Model No. 88 BFM, Serial No. 2497-1192). b.On or about 3/11/2011, employees were observed placing wood blocks, to initially support a boat before towers (in the form of tripods) or boat stands are also placed to support the boat. Once the boat is lowered to the wood blocks, if modification to the location of the blocks is merited, the employees rearrange the blocks position. While placing and/or relocating the blocks, the boat is suspended in the air by a Marine Travelift Mobile Crane/Hoist (Model No. 88 BFM, Serial No. 2497-1192), while the employees are under the suspended load, therefore exposed to caught by/struck by hazards. Among others, a feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct Instance a is to: 1.Use a roller extension rod when painting after blocks and/or tripods or boat stands are removed under the suspended load.
