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 the hazard of being struck by falling steel stud(s). (a) On January 6, 1992 a load of steel studs was being hoisted to the 37th floor of the C&S Bank Plaza Building located at 105 West Whiting Street, Tampa, FL 33602. The load of steel studs was not secured to the carrier, (crane forks). During the positioning of the crane load, the load slipped off of the carrier, (crane forks), and impacted on the worksite and Whiting Street. The load was not secured to the carrier to prevent movement during the hoisting procedure. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to secure all loads being hoisted to the carrier (crane forks), to prevent the load from slipping off the carrier.
