Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The

free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death
or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to
the hazard of material falling from suspended loads being carried
through the work area:
a) Machine Shop - employees required to operate 10 ton radio controlled
overhead crane, used to transport heavy loads throughout the work
area, were not given any adequate training in the safe operation of
overhead cranes being used to lift heavy loads. Observed 4/6/88.
b) Middle of Shop - employees required to operate 30 ton radio
controlled overhead crane, used to unload billets of steel from

overhead crane, used to hoist dies and other heavy loads throughout

Abatement Note: A feasible method of abatement among other methods is
to implement a formal training program for all employees required to
operate overhead cranes that would include passing a practical operating
examination at the end of the training period to ensure employees are
capable of operating overhead cranes lifting heavy loads in a safe
manner.

General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: 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 were exposed to
the hazard of electrical shock while working on the control box of a
Jib hoist without having the power physically locked out:
a) Machine shop - the Square D safety switch, 30 amp 600 volt A.C/D.C.,
3 phase providing power to the Jib Hoist control box was not locked
out with a physical lock to prevent power from being accidently
turned on, exposing employee to a shock/electrocution hazard.
Observed 4/5/88
Abatement Note: Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable
abatement method to correct this hazard would be to provide and require
the use of physical locks so that the power can be "Locked Out" in the
off position.
