Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: UNAPEQUIP

HAR 12-60-2(a)(3) was violated because: The floor in the ice cream freezer was covered with ice, thus exposing the employee to a slip hazard which could result in serious injuries or death. 12-60-2(a)(3) states " Every employer shall provide safe work places and practices by elimination or reduction of existing or potential hazards. Elimination of existing or potential hazards by design, process substitution, or other appropriate methods is preferred because it eliminates the need for further employee protection. When elimination is not feasible, reduction of existing or potential hazards to acceptable levels, using methods such as engineering or administrative controls, isolation, or guarding, shall be promptly used. When these methods are inadequate to reach acceptable levels, personal protective equipment shall be provided and used." Location: Ice cream freezer
