Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: CRUSHING
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: 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 crushing injuries: a.On or about February 26, 1996, modifications had been made to the Series B, Case Maxi-Sneakers, in that a reel carrier had been welded on the frame of the machine in back of the operator's seat, to hold one 60pound cable reel. This modification had not been approved by Case, the manufacturer, and it made the equipment more susceptible to overturning, exposing operators to crushing and other injuries. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard is to have approval of proposed modifications from the manufacturer prior to installing such modifications.
