Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: FALLING
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: Moving equipment and vehicles while working on a scissor lift in the roadway of a shopping center which was not barricaded, flagged or roped off for the employees protection. a)Lakeview Plaza Shopping Center - Employee using a JLG scissor lift, Model CM 2033, S/N 020011487, was exposed to vehicular traffic while installing tyvex on the exterior of the building. The addition of vehicular traffic in the work area of the lift increased the potential for an accident because the employee/operator had to move the lift while holding tyvex sheets, watch traffic and steer the lift in a straight direction inches from the curbing. Feasible abatement methods include: (1) Ensure that employees barricade and block off areas where scissor lifts are to be operated as per ANSI A92.6-1990, 7.11.2. (2) Implement a training program to ensure that employees are aware of the proper methods to be used to operate scissor lifts such as those described in the Operators Manual and ANSI/SIA A92.6-1990.
