Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard: CRUSHING
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 amputation and/or crushing hazards: (a) Union Drilling, at drill site Figure Four #8016B, Rifle, CO: On or before June 1, 2004, the employer did not ensure that the a "chain-around" system bypassed the come-a-longs that were used to tension the four wind-guys. Whereas the come-a-longs are conventionally used to tension windguys, they are not intended to transmit the load from the wind guy wire ropes to the anchors. Absence of a "chain-around" bypass exposed two or more employees to undue derrick swaying in the event of windguy failure and consequent struck-by hazards. Abatement Note: Among other metheds, one feasible and accepable methed to correct the hazard is to observe the come-a-along manufacturer's specifications that prescribe "chaining- around" the come-a-long tensioning system in the wind-guy-anchor assembly. Abatement Note: Abatement certification is required for this item.
