Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: STRUCK BY
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 being hit and/or struck by the bucket of the excavator: a) On or about January 24, 1991, a Bucyrus Erie 350H Excavator was in operation where employees were exposed to the swing radius of the rear of the excavator due to the fact that no barriers were erected to protect all employees in this area. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to have the operator become fully aware of the instructions in the Bucyrus Erie 350H Operators Manual, specifically page 8, "Start-Up Procedures".
