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 a place of employment which was free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to caught-in-between hazards: (a)PS2, Inc. & 2400 47th Ave., Greeley, CO 80634: On and before May 8th, 2010, the exposing employer did not ensure that high-visibility apparel was provided and used while working in the right of way. Employees were observed working in close proximity to an aerial lift positioned in a lane of traffic outside Lowe's store # 1812, without high visibility apparel. The condition exposed employees to struck-by hazards. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard would be to adopt section 634 of the Federal Highway Administration's 23 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Section 634 titled "Worker Visibility" states that all workers within the right-of-way who are exposed either to traffic or construction equipment within the work area shall wear high-visibility safety apparel.
