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 was free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees, in that employees were exposed to crushed-by and/or struck-by hazards. On or about November 13, 2019, the employer did not ensure employees were protected from under-ride hazards associated with the operating standup forklifts. A Raymond Reach Truck (Forklift, Model 750-R35TT S/N 750-15-BC49196) was not equipped with rear post guards, or other feature to prevent an under-ride from occurring nor did the employer adjust the shelf heights so that the overhead guard or bottom of the forklift would strike the rack in the event of contact.
