Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: LIFTING
North Carolina General Statute 95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of North Carolina: The employer did not furnish each of his employees conditions of employment and a place of employment free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to hazards of being struck by falling loads: a)site-employer permitted employees to use a chain not authorized for overhead lifting or hoisting. On or about March 22, 2004, employees used a carbon steel chain to lift a concrete catch basin weighing 4,326 pounds to place the basin into the trench. (Ref National Association of Chain Manufacturers standards from November 1999; 29 CFR 1926.251) One feasible means of abatement is to assure that all chains used in overhead lifting and hoisting conform to the requirements of 29 CFR 1926.251.
