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:
On or about August 23, 2011 at the jobsite located at 1601 West Third,
North Little
Rock, AR, an employee was operating a rough terrain powered industrial
truck with a
bucket attachment without using the seatbelt.  This condition exposed the
employee to
the hazard of being ejected from the powered industrial truck in the event
of a tip over
and stuck by the falling object protective structure (FOPS) and/or other
parts of the
powered industrial truck.
Feasible abatement methods include establishing a policy that requires the
use of seat
belts, requires communication of it to employees, and enforces the use of
the seat belts.es
