Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
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 operating JLG 450AJ Aerial Lift serial number 0300053935 were exposed to crushing and tipping hazards: a). On or about October 1, 2015, and at times prior, employees operated the JLG 450AJ Aerial Lift serial number 0300053935. An employee moved the aerial lift into position, using the control panel located in the lift basket, and a malfunction of the lift controls caused the lift to move rapidly towards the roofline, crushing the operator between the roof edge and the control panel of the aerial lift, killing him and forcing another employee to jump from the basket, which resulted in a broken leg. A feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to ensure that all recommended daily, and annual inspections be performed by a qualified person or company. Also, employer shall ensure all employees adhere to the company Safety Policy and procedures for working on aerial lifts.
