Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: 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 in that employees were exposed to struck-by and crushing hazards while operating overhead cranes: Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: 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 in that employees were exposed to struck-by and crushing hazards while operating overhead cranes: a)In the fabricating section of the plant: On June 29, 2011 and at times prior to, employees were exposed to struck-by and crushing hazards while operating overhead, under-hung cranes in that loads lifted by the cranes were not secured by hook safety latches, as they had been removed or damaged on all four cranes. Feasible and acceptable methods of abatement to correct this hazard include, but are not limited to following: a)Procure and attach a crane hook with an operable latch. b)Repair the current hooks by having a latch attached. In Accordance With (IAW) industry standards published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), B30.10, states that a hook with an inoperative hook latch is considered inoperative unless it is repaired or replaced. IAW ASME B30.16, "Hooks shall be equipped with latches unless the use of a latch creates a hazardous condition." By definition 29 CFR 1910.179 does not apply.
