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 struck-by and crushing hazards: On or about January 15, 2017 employees handling bridge girders in the paint shop were exposed to struck-by and crushing hazards due to the fact that girders, 122 foot long and weighing over 44,000 pounds, were not adequately secured to prevent tipping if the girder became unbalanced. The girders were set on four 3/4 inch nuts that were placed on top of two paint stands to allow more surface area of the bottom flange of the girder to be painted and reduce the amount of touch up painting required.
