Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.176(a): Materials Handling and Storage. Handling materials - general. Use of mechanical equipment. Where mechanical handling equipment is used, sufficient safe clearances shall be allowed for aisles, at loading docks, through doorways and wherever turns or passage must be made. Aisles and passageways shall be kept clear and in good repair, with no obstruction across or in aisles that could create a hazard. Permanent aisles and passageways shall be appropriately marked. a) On or about October 26, 2023 in the Cardboard Baler area, the employer did not ensure that there was sufficient safe clearances through the doorway in that the path being utilized by the forklifts with two scrap carts trailing from one area of the warehouse to another area of the warehouse exposed employees to struck-by hazards when employees had to stand by a cemented column in the turning path of the forklift in order to assist in the removal of a bird from the area.
