Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: STRUCK BY
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) The employees used the guardrails of two Skyjack scissor lifts to elevate and support the HVAC duct pipes that were lifted approximately 20 feet into the ceiling of the Art Room of a high school under construction and were exposed to tip over, struck-by and fall hazards of at least twenty feet. The employer failed to secure approval from the manufacturer to use the guardrails of the scissor lifts to elevate and support the duct pipes. A feasible abatement method, among others, would have been to use a superlift that could be extended at least 24 feet above ground. ABATEMENT CERTIFICATION AND DOCUMENTATION REQUIREDATION
