General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)1 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The
employer did not
furnish 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 the potential hazards of
unexpected
energization or start up of machines or equipment or release of stored
energy:
On or about 04/27/2011, at 4200 N. Flager Drive, West Palm Beach, FL
33407, employees
were working on the Transom deck of a Yacht preparing the Laserette door
for painting.
Deficiencies in the Safety and Health Program were evident in that
employees preparing a
yacht for painting were not provided with task specific Lock-out/Tag-out
procedures, thus
exposing workers to the hazard of being crushed by a hydraulically
operated Laserette door
on the Transom deck.
Among other methods, one feasable and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard
is to develop specific Lock-out/Tag-out procedures for equipment such as,
but not limited to,
doors, hatches, and ladders to ensure the control of hazardous energy;
provide training and
procedures for effective energy contol to employees; and conduct a
periodic inspection of the
energy control procedures at least annually.
PLEASE NOTE: CERTIFICATION AND DOCUMENTATION OF ABATEMENT IS
REQUIRED FOR THIS VIOLATION
