Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: FALLING
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 fall hazards: (a) An employee at about 12 feet above ground level was standing on a pipe while applying insulation on another pipe. There was no fall protective equipment being used to prevent the employee from accidentally falling to the ground and/or to other equipment directly below him, on or about 10/30/91. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard is the proper use of safety belt and lanyard.
