Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: STRUCK BY
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish to each of its employees a place of employment which was free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death of serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to a struck by hazard which could inflict death or serious injury while transferring granite slabs in the shop: (a) Home Depot Home Services Bath Remodeling, 12650 E. 33rd Ave. #141, Aurora, CO 80011: On or before 10/31/07, employees were exposed to struck by hazards while transferring granite/marble slabs in the shop. The granite/marble slabs are stored on "A" frames in the shop adjacent to the fabrication area. When retrieving the slabs, employees are required to separate the slab to be lifted from the others in order to attach the hoisting clamp attached to the forklift extension. This activity places the employees in the middle of the slab racking system in between slabs. This condition exposed employees to a struck by hazard with injuries including, but not limited to, broken bones, death.
