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 hazards associated with structural steel collapse: On or about January 19, 2000, employees erecting a prefabricated metal building located at 1630 N. Lincoln, Parsons, Kansas, were working on the steel frame of the structure. Temporary bracing was not used to secure the structural steel during a period of high winds. The structure was vulnerable to wind damage. Employees were exposed to falling and crushing hazards associated with collapse of the structure. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is: a. Install temporary bracing.; or b. Preclude workers from working on unbraced steel structures during periods of high winds. 29 CFR 1903.19(d)(1) requires certification and documentation that the abatement of the above violation is complete.
