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 a slipping/tripping/falling hazard: (a)Loading Area - On or about July 15, 2002, employees had no fall protection while working on the trailer of a flatbed truck to load steel. The employees were 55.5 inches above the shop floor when standing directly on top of the trailer and 72.5 inches above the shop floor when standing on top of the steel stacked on the trailer. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to institute a fall protection program and to provide fall protection equipment to employees.
