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. The employer is failing to protect employees from electrical hazards from a damaged hoist pendant control. This was most recently documented on or about April 12, 2018, at the American Walnut Company, LLC, located at 2801 South 2nd Street, Saint Joseph, Missouri. The CM Valustar 2 Ton Hoist in the Northeast Section of the Circle Mill, also known as the Log Deck, had a damaged pendant control. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method is to: a) Repair or replace the pendant control as required by ASME B30.17-2015- Cranes and Monorails (With Underhung Trolley or Bridge), Section 17-1.14.1(e) and 17-1.14.2 to ensure that pendant controls are maintained in a safe and serviceable condition. b) Perform frequent and periodic inspections as required by ASME B30.17-2015 - Cranes and Monorails (With Underhung Trolley or Bridge), Section 17-2.1.4 and 17-2.1.5 to ensure that the hoists and pendant controls are maintained in a safe and serviceable condition.
