Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: LIFTING
P.L. 91-596 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 employees were exposed to the hazard(s) of: a) On or about April 7, 2011, at the worksite, an employee rode on the load of a wood pallet containing roofing materials of a HIAB 335 K-4 Hipro Truck Crane, in order to gain access to a two-story roof section of a house. The employee, riding on the load, was exposed to a 16 foot fall hazard and possible struck-by hazard from the crane boom. ABATEMENT CERTIFICATION IS NOT REQUIRED Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is for the employer to provide a ladder as a method of gaining access or egress to the roof or to follow the American National Standard, ASME B30.23, which addresses the requirements when lifting personnel.
