Labor and Employment Article, Section 5-104(a): 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: (a)Date of Violation:05/21/02 Condition:Employees engaged in the removal of the 4" diameter, galvanized piping system, located 137" above floor level, could be struck by pieces of the pipe, as could the ladders from which they worked, as it was cut and fell, uncontrolled, to the floor. Among others, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to develop and implement a method to support sections of pipping as they are being cut and to safely lower them to the floor without falling. Abatement documentation (photographs, receipts, copies of programs, training certification, etc.) is required for this item.
