General-duty citation text

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 crush hazards.
On or about 02/07/12 at 2200 Buford Hwy, Buford, Ga; employees were
exposed to crush
hazards where:
A. The skid steer braking system did not operate properly. When the
control handles were
released the skid steer would still move forward until operator would
re-gain control.
Per manufacturer recommendation one feasible means of abatement would be
to ensure that
the ground drive controls are properly adjusted.
B. The skid steer back up alarm was inoperative. When the operator drove
the skid steer in
reverse the alarm did not sound.
Per manufacturer recommendation one feasible means of abatement would be
to ensure that
the back up alarm was audible.
In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required
for this violation
(using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET), and in
addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete must be
included with
your certification.  This documentation may include, but is not limited
to, evidence of the
purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video evidence of
abatement, or other
written records.
