Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): 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 struck-by hazard. a. On or about June 24, 2016, located in the Slitter Department, employees operated a Coffing electric wire rope hoist, model number EMW-500-B in order to hoist slitter dies in and out of an Independent Machine Company inline slitter, serial number 10106-0507 (Asset number TS-007). The hoist had a 1/8 inch diameter wire rope with a 5/16 inch Crosby wire rope clip used in an effort to secure the wire rope to the hoist. The single wire rope clip was too large for the wire rope which caused the wire rope to slip out of the clip's saddle while a 70 pound die was being hoisted, thereby exposing the employees to a struck-by hazard.
