Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: CRUSHING
29 CFR 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 are exposed to struck-by hazards caused by moving vehicles. This hazard was most recently observed near Scribner & Reynolds St. Intersection, Endicott, NE 68350. An employee sustained fatal injuries when the tanker rolled back approximately 70 feet down an incline and crushed the employee between the company tractor and another contractor's tanker. Among other methods, feasible and acceptable methods of abatement are: 1. Develop and document a training program that includes re-training of drivers identified as failing to follow safety protocols through inspections, near-misses, accidents etc. 2. Develop and document inspection and/or safety enforcement protocols to help identify drivers who could benefit from re-training, i.e. fail to follow safety protocols. Abatement certification and abatement documentation is required for this violation. The documentation should include written verification of abatement, applicable measurements or monitoring results, and photographs or videos which you believe will be helpful. The abatement certification sheet is enclosed with the citations.
