Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: LIFTING
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 a crushing injury: a.At the job site on 245 State Road 312, employees were exposed to a crushing injury if a slack condition on the fiber sling was created while Derrick #Y80DVEB81369, was lifting parking lot light poles without a "safety latch" on the hook. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method is to make sure all hooks are equipped with "safety latch" unless the application makes the use of the latch impractical and to make sure the "safety latch" always bridges the throat opening of the hook in the close position. As per American National Standard Institute, B30.5-1982, Section 5-1.7.6 (Revision of USAS B30.5-1968).
