Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: STRUCK BY
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 struck-by hazards: The cage type special purpose elevator (manlift) used at the grain elevator was not equipped with an enclosure of at least a height of 7 feet. Employees were exposed to struck-by hazards on the main floor, bin deck floor and the distributor floor. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is: Where the hoistway is adjacent to areas permitting passage of people (e.g., passageways, stairwells, elevator landings), provide an enclosure to a height of not less than 7 feet above the floor or stair treads as required by ASME A17.1-1996, Rule 1500.1. 29 CFR 1903.19(c)(1) requires certification that the abatement of the above violation is completed.
