General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1910.179(m)(1): Running ropes. A thorough inspection of all ropes shall be made at least once a month and a certification record which includes the date of inspection, the signature of the person who performed the inspection and an identifier for the ropes which were inspected shall be kept on file where readily available to appointed personnel. Any deterioration, resulting in appreciable loss of original strength, shall be carefully observed and determination made as to whether further use of the rope would constitute a safety hazard. Some of the conditions that could result in an appreciable loss of strength are the following: Shop area - On or about July 6, 2016, employees were required to use the West Bay North, West Bay South and East Bay Overhead Cranes and their running ropes to move steel chambers, plates, T-beams and other materials. Thorough monthly inspections of the running rope conditions were not performed at least once a month and certification records completed. Employees were thereby exposed to the hazards associated with wire rope failure.
