General-duty citation text

OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): 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 an equipment rollover and/or thrown from hazard:  a) 3 Elm St., Mendon, MA: On or about October 20, 2014, an employee was ejected from a mini compactor/roller type piece of equipment. There was no seatbelt or any type of roll-over protective system (ROPS) on this vehicle the employee was driving down the ramps to remove it from a travel trailer bed. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means to correct this hazard is to follow the recommendations of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE J1040b- 1977 Performance Criteria for Rollover Protective Structures (ROPS) for Construction .. and Milling Machines.), and install such protective measures on those applicable vehicles.  Specific abatement documentation that this violation has been corrected must be provided within 10 days of the abatement in accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d)(1).
