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 provide employment and a place of employment which was free of recognized hazards in that employees were exposed to being struck by falling loads due to the failure to properly rig the hoisting slings. In the boiler room at Glenbard West High School, 670 Crescent Boulevard, Glen Ellyn, IL, the chain fall being used to hoist the expansion tank into place was not properly rigged as specified in ASME/ANSI B30.16-1987 Section 16-3.1.2a in that the secondary hoist chain was wrapped around the load. A feasible method of abatement would be to properly rig the chain hoists as specified in ASME/ANSI B30.16-1987 Section 16-3.1.2a. CERTIFICATION AND DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED FOR THIS ITEM
