General-duty citation text

HAR 12-60-2(a)(3) was violated because:
An employee was sitting on the tailgate of a Nissan Frontier truck #HZJ751
while the truck
was moving.  The employee was exposed to potential serious injuries due
fall hazards in the
event he were to fall off the back of the truck while it was moving.
12-60-2(a)(3) states "Every employer shall provide safe work places and
practices by
elimination or reduction of existing or potential hazards.  Elimination of
existing or potential
hazards by design, process substitution, or other appropriate methods is
preferred because it
eliminates the need for further employee protection.  When elimination is
not feasible,
reduction of existing or potential hazards to acceptable levels, using
methods such as
engineering or administrative controls, isolation, or guarding, shall be
promptly used.  When
these methods are inadequate to reach acceptable levels, personal
protective equipment shall
be provided and used."
