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 removing traffic control devices, when there was a danger of traffic flow, were exposed to struck-by hazards. a) On North Street Road adjacent to the property located at 7137 North Street Road, NW, Newark, Ohio, employees were exposed to struck-by hazards while removing temporary traffic control devices from a rural hilly two-lane roadway without employing positive protection or other acceptable means of protection. On or about August 11, 2017, an employee was struck and fatally injured by a southbound vehicle while standing outside the company's work truck after having loaded temporary traffic control devices from the shoulder of the north-bound lane into the back of the parked vehicle. The work truck was parked partially in the south-bound lane and all upstream south-bound temporary traffic control devices had been removed. Feasible and acceptable means of abatement would be to follow the "Ohio Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices" (OMUTCD), the "Federal Highway Administration Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices" (MUTCD) worker safety considerations, the American Safety Services Association, "Field Guide on Installation and Removal of Temporary Traffic Control for Safe Maintenance and Work Zone Operations, and the standards set forth in ANSI/ASSE A10.47 - 2015 "Work Zone Safety for Highway Construction" to include, but not limited to: 1) Removing traffic control devices by properly trained employees under the supervision of the traffic control supervisor. 2) Removing traffic control devices starting from the downstream end. 3) When there is a danger of traffic flow, removing traffic control devices using a "shadow vehicle".
