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 the hazard of falling: a.Site - A truck driver engaged in the task of unloading bundled tanks from the truck's trailer bed was repeatedly exposed to fall hazards when climbing up each bundle of tanks in order to attach rigging to the lifting points on each bundle, which was then moved off the trailer bed by the trailer bed-mounted hydraulic crane. ABATEMENT NOTE: Among other means of abatement, one feasible and acceptable means of abatement would be to implement the following process: (1) Ensure that trailer straps are in place to keep the load secured; and (2) Use a ladder against the secured load to gain access and secure the rigging to the load; and (3) Climb down the ladder.
