General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1910.176(b): Storage of material shall not create a hazard. Bags, containers, bundles, etc., stored in tiers shall be stacked, blocked, interlocked and limited in height so that they are stable and secure against sliding or collapse: On or about February 8, 2016 employees were exposed to struck-by hazards when working in the store room because a wheeled cart within the storage shelves was not blocked and did not have its wheels locked to prevent movement. An employee working in the store room was struck in the head by a falling ladder; the ladder was leaned up against a storage rack and was not secured. The wheels of the cart within the rack were not locked or blocked to prevent movement of the cart. An employee on the opposite side of the rack inadvertently pushed the wheeled cart into the ladder which caused it to fall onto the employee.
