Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: CRUSHING
Va. Code 40.1-51.1A.: 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 an employee was exposed to crushing and engulfment hazards while operating a tractor to push manure into a 10 foot deep manure pit. One feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard would have been for the employer to enforce, with progressive levels of discipline, its policy prohibiting the driver from approaching too closely to the top of the ramp and prohibiting the driver from looking backwards while the tractor was ascending the ramp.ding
