OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): 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 hazards: The employer is failing to protect employee(s) from struck-by and crushed-by hazards. This was most recently documented on or about August 7, 2019. An employee engaged in painting activities, while standing with in the frame of the elevated utility trailer, was exposed to struck-by and crushing hazards when the frame tipped over and fell off the metal sawhorse type supports it had been resting on, pinning and crushing the employee between frame components. Among other methods, some feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct this hazard are to crib, brace, block, and secure the trailer in order to prevent tipping and collapsing.
