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 recognizable hazards that were causing or likely to cause serious physical harm to employees, in that, an employee was exposed to a crushing hazard from paving vehicles: (a) The Alley at 2319 33rd Street, S.E.: During a paving operation, an employee fell or was thrown off of the rear bumper of a truck and was subsequentially run over by the backing vehicle. One useful and feasible method to abate this hazard would be to follow the Society of Automotive Engineers, Off-Highway Machinery Practice, Operation Procedures, SAE J153 May 87, Section 4.3, which states: "Do not permit riders on the machine if there is no manufacturer's designated place for the rider".
