Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: STRUCK BY
Section 5(a)(1) of Public Law 91-596, 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 were exposed to struck by hazard because the employer did not equip the hook with a latch and label the load block with rated capacity and weight. (a)Highway 32, Water Valley, MS - On or about March 18, 2010 the employer did not ensure that the load hook, ball assembly and load block used by an American Crawler Crane to lift a 5200 pound concrete bucket was equipped with a latch for the hook and a label with rated capacity and weight. One feasible and used abatement method for correcting this hazard, among others, is to, comply with American National Standard (ANSI/ASME B30.5b - 1985) for Mobile and Locomotive Cranes, paragraph 5-1.7.6: All hook and ball assemblies and load blocks shall be labeled with their rated capacity and weight. Hooks shall be equipped with latches.
