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 columns: a.Jobsite - Eight free standing columns were erected with no temporary support. Before the structure was guyed and secured one of the columns fell killing an employee; on or about 11/25/97. ABATEMENT NOTE: Among other methods, one feasible method to reduce this hazard is to erect temporary supports for the steel frame as it is being erected. The guidelines that are stipulated in the American Institute of Steel Construction, Code of Standard Practice for Steel Buildings and Bridges should be followed. At a minimum temporary supports should be provided to secure the steel framing, or any partly assembled steel framing, against loads comparable in intensity to those for which the structure was designed, resulting from wind, seismic forces and erection operations.
