Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard: FALLING
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: (a) On the west side of the facility, employees were exposed to potential fall hazards while working on top of railroad hopper cars due to the lack of any type of fall protection at the wheat house and barley house. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard would be to install some type of fall protection (safety belts and body harness, guardrails, or an equivalent means of protection).
