Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: CRUSHING
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 struck by or crushed by an unsecured load: On or about 03/10/95 employees in sub assembly, were installing an approximately 3500 pound prefabricated steel rail car side onto a cement hopper rail car, Serial # 732196. The load (rail car side) attached to the overhead hoist was released without it being adequately and properly secured. One feasible and acceptable means of abatement is to connect the fit up chains across the top and of the rail sides before removing the crane, or before employees are allowed to perform work in the area of the unsecured rail car side.
