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 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 crushing hazards while operating a powered industrial truck on uneven ground and not wearing the seatbelt provided by the manufacturers. Building A: On or about December 4, 2007 employees were not protected from the hazard of being crushed while operating the powered industrial truck without a seatbelt. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means of abatement would be to utilize the operator restraint devices that are provided by the powered industrial truck manufacturer.
