Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: FALLING
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish to each of his employees 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 a fall hazard: On or about 5/13/2010, at 11 Weston Road, Sunrise, Florida, an employee was observed trimming tree branches while standing inside a bucket of a backhoe. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard was to follow the manufacturer's recommendation prohibiting personnel from climbing onto equipment. In addition, the employer must provide the employees with the proper equipment to conduct the job safely.
