Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: FALLING
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: a.Employees were exposed to the hazards of falling from elevations while in the process of erecting a steel structure when it collapsed. On or about March 3, 1994, during the process of erecting a steel structure known as the "ejection seat," an employee, who was attached to the top of an inadequately supported and unstable vertical steel beam by a single safety belt, fell 40 feet with the partially erected structure when it collapsed. The employee was fatally injuried when he and the structure hit the ground. One feasible and acceptable abatement method, among others, to correct this hazard is to use an aerial lift so that an employee will not have to be secured to the structure during the erection process.
