Labor and Employment Article, Section 5-104(a): The employer did not
furnish 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:
(a)Date of Violation:04-04-11
Condition:Employee attempted to unload a parcel with a pallet jack that
weighed #4,000 onto an
elevated lift gate that had a rated capacity of #3,300.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is to ensure that
employees using a pallet jack to unload material from a truck are aware of
the weight of the load and the
capacity of the lift gate of the truck.
Abatement documentation (photographs, receipts, copies of programs,
training certification, etc.)
is required for this item.
