General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1926.1425(c)(1): The employer did not make sure that the materials being hoisted when employees were hooking, unhooking, or guiding the load were rigged to prevent unintentional displacement. (a) Hi Cranes, Inc. at 184 Beaver Dam Road, Vail, CO 81657: On October 1, 2019, the employer did not ensure that materials being hoisted were prevented from unintentional displacement, in that the single, synthetic sling holding a steel C-channel beam was inadequate to prevent the load from being displaced. At a residential home remodel an employee (rigger) was engaged in guiding the suspended beam while pulling on the tag line and causing the beam to slip out from the sling. This condition exposed the employee to struck by hazards resulting in a hospitalization after the employee was injured by the falling beam.
