Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: FALLING
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 was free from recognized hazards that were likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees. a. On or about May 31, 2007, at the above addressed jobsite, a powered industrial truck operator had driven inside a semi-trailer for the purpose of unloading it when the semi-trailer driver pulled away from the dock causing the powered industrial truck and the operator to fall to the ground. b. On or about June 1, 2007, at the above addressed jobsite, a powered industrial truck operator entered a semi-trailer for the purpose of loading it when the semi-trailer driver pulled away from the dock causing the powered industrial truck and the operator to fall to the ground. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to implement procedures for checking trailers of the semi-trucks prior to releasing them and the installation of dock locks to prevent the trailer from being moved. In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required for this violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET), and in addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete must be included with your certification. This documentation may include, but is not limited to, evidence of the purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video evidence of abatement, or other written records.
