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 in that employees were exposed to the hazard of falling when an incline lift dropped from a higher to a lower floor while they were riding it: (a) Location - At The Establishment, 30 Factory Street, Everett, MA: On or about 2/5/97, the employer allowed employees to ride an incline lift that was not designed for personnel riding. One feasible and acceptable abatement method, among others, to correct this hazard is to make sure that employees are trained to operate a material incline lift and do not allow anyone to ride a material incline lift. Prominently, post warning signs at each point of access and each point of operation.
