Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: CRUSHING
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, in that a workplace hoist was not in good repair, as the hoist hook was not equipped with a throat latch. a) Alco Manufacturing Corporation, LLC, Elyria, Ohio: On or about January 26, 2011, the employer did not ensure that the hook on the overhead 3 Ton Shaw-Box top-running, underhung crane, located in the steel receiving area, was equipped with a throat latch, exposing employees to struck-by and crushing hazards should the load being lifted roll out of the hook. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard is to comply with the requirements of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B30.16-2007 "Overhead Hoists (Underhung)", Section 16-1.2.9 "Hooks". In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(c), abatement certification is required for this violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET).
