Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: UNAPEQUIP
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 injury due to wire rope failure: a) Shop #1 - Employees used a two ton hoist to handle material in the welding area. The hoist was reaved with 1/4 inch wire rope and had four parts of line. The wire rope was damaged in that kinks were readily apparent and one of the strands in the wire rope was broken. This reduced the strength and integrity of the rope thus exposing employees to injury in the event of rope failure. ABATEMENT NOTE: One feasible and acceptable method to abate this hazard is to replace the wire rope on the hoist. Also, a procedure should be established to thoroughly inspect the running rope of all hoists on a monthly basis.
