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 employees were exposed to: On or about February 24, 2010, and at times prior thereto, at the facility located at 123 Commercial Ave., Lowell, Arkansas, the seat belt on the Mitsubishi powered industrial truck was not functional, exposing employees to the hazards of being thrown from or crushed by the vehicle. One feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to ensure that employees are able to buckle their seat belts each time they operate a powered industrial truck as required by the ANSI/ASME B56.1 "Safety Standard for Low Lift and High Lift Trucks", Article 5.3.19 which states: "An active operator protection device or system, when provided, shall be used".
