Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: LIFTING
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 hazards associated with unauthorized rider(s) on a fork lift: a) Front of building - Four employees were riding on a pallet carried on the forks of a Terex TH 644C (a rough-terrain, powered industrial truck) to gain access to and egress from the roof with an elevation of approximately 17 feet. In addition to the four employees, the pallet also contained three step ladders, a cooler and a tool box. One means of feasible abatement, among others, would be to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for lifting personnel, if allowed, and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard B56.6, Safety Standard for Rough Terrain Forklift Trucks, Section 5.15.1, to provide a personnel platform which complies with the design requirements listed in part III (Section 825, Platform for Elevating Personnel) of this standard.
