Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): 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: The employer is failing to protect employees from struck-by hazards while using a company manufactured spreader beam. This most recently occurred on May 4, 2017 at 13433 Centech Road, Omaha, Nebraska, where employees were using an unmarked and unrated spreader beam to lift and hoist steel materials weighing up to 15,000 pounds. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means of abatement would be to replace the spreader beam lifting device with one that is marked and rated in accordance with ASME B30.20-2013, Below-the-Hook Lifting Device, Chapter 20-1, page 13.
