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 crushing and amputation hazards relating to the use of the Schwing Concrete Pump Truck System. This condition was most recently observed at the job site located at: Jaxson Estates, Tennis Court, Lot 284, Wentzville, MO 63390, on or about April 23, 2018. At this job site, the operator opened the grate (guard), exposing himself to the rotating agitator to clean out the hopper while the concrete pump motor was on.
