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 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 injury from falls and/or equipment failure: (a) For the employee working from a makeshift work platform that was attached to the top of a scissor lift and supported by the guardrail system of the lift, located at 1831 NDSU Park Research Drive, Fargo, North Dakota. Abatement Note: Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means of abatement to correct the hazard would be to comply with American National Standards Institute, ANSI A92.6-1990 American National Standard for Self-Propelled Elevating Work Platforms, Section 7.11.1 which states, "Personnel shall maintain a firm footing on the platform while working thereon. Use of planks, ladders, or any other device on the aerial platform for achieving additional height or reach shall be prohibited." Abatement Note: Abatement certification and documentation are required for this item (see enclosed "Sample Abatement Certification Letter").tion
