Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: CRUSHING
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of1970: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that the employees were exposed to the hazards associated with standing, walking, or working within close proximity to a stack- loaded powered industrial truck. Jobsite: Facility. On June 3, 2009, a worker was crushed and killed while he was working in close proximity to a fork truck that was carrying two (2) stacked insulated boxes ("totes") when the stack became unstable and tipped over onto him. One feasible means of abatement, among others, would be to prohibit employees from being in close proximity to working fork trucks and to include in the company training program an element to be constantly aware of load heights in order to be out of radius in the event of a load tipping off of the forks.g
