Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: OTHER
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: On or about Sep 10, 2008, at the Cedar Creek Relief Bridge of rural road FM 1836 near Kaufman, TX, employees delivering heavy equipment to a worksite were exposed to death and serious injuries when the bridge they were traveling on collapsed. Among other methods, feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct this hazard include, but are not limited to: 1. Develop and implement procedures to ensure that safety elements are assessed to make adjustments and/or additional restrictions to posted road-bridge weight limitations due to stationary materials, concrete barriers, and equipment being place on the bridge. 2. Require employees use an alternate route for delivery of heavy equipment to the construction work site.
