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 potential struck-by hazards resulting from failure of the homemade "clamps" and/or" A","C", and "L" hooks used to lift/raise reels of wire with overload hoists. The hooks were welded/repaired in house and tests were not made following repair to ensure the strength and safety of the hook. Among other methods, one feasible abatement method would be to ensure the provisions of ANSI/ASME (American National Standards Institute/American Society of Mechanical Engineers) B30.20 Safety Standard for "Below the Hook Lifting Devices" or its equivalent are met prior to the use of lifting devices which have been altered, modified, or repaired.
