1910.9(b) Standards in this part requiring training on hazards and related matters, such as standards requiring that employees receive training or that the employer train employees, provide training to employees, or institute or implement a training program, impose a separate compliance duty with respect to each employee covered by the requirement. On or about July 18, 2023, and at times thereafter, Martin-Brower's warehouse selection workers were required to perform repetitive manual material handling lifting tasks, involving forceful exertions and awkward postures, during Dry Goods Selection tasks, Frozen Selection tasks, and Cooler Selection tasks. A review of Martin-Brower?s ergonomic program determined that warehouse selection employees had not been trained on the principles of the employer?s Ergonomics Program, general risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders, effective engineering and administrative controls, common signs and symptoms associated with musculoskeletal disorders, and the importance of early reporting of musculoskeletal disorders signs and symptoms associated with MSDs.

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 a) On or about November 15, 2023, and times prior, the employer did not ensure that powered industrial vehicle operators were provided safe forward clearances at the automated Rytec roll-up Freezer door nearest the Bun Room. Opposing traffic was allowed to proceed through the automated roll-up door (blind spot) in a manner that exposed drivers of powered industrial vehicles to the potential for head-on collisions/contacts. Pressure sensors installed in the travel path on the Freezer interior floor were positioned and operated in a manner that allowed for powered industrial vehicles to meet unexpectedly head on when the door rolled up under the powered industrial vehicle operating conditions allowed by the employer.
