Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1918.24(e)(1): Ladders or steps of adequate strength were not furnished when it was necessary to obtain access to or from a stowed deckload or other cargo, and no other safe means of access were available. a) River Marker Mile 175; On or about 11/18/13, the employer failed to ensure employees used a ladder to access the barge. Employees accessed the barge by climbing down 1000 pound sacks of bulk concrete additive stacked on top of each other in the barge. The 1000 pound sacks were stacked up to six high which exposed employee(s) to the hazard of being crushed in the event the bags shifted and struck an employee.
