Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard: STRUCK BY
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer does not furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from the recognized hazard of being struck by crane loads that are being lifted and suspended by hooks that have defective or missing latches. This violation was observed on or about November 3, 2010, in the Tool and Die Shop and Production area where employees were exposed to being struck by crane loads while they were being lifted and suspended by hooks with either missing or defective latches. Among other feasible methods to correct the identified hazard, one method would be to remove the hooks from use or ensure that hooks had properly functioning latches per ASME B30.10 - 2005 Hooks, Paragraph 10-1.2.3(c). Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date, the employer must submit documentation describing the actions it is taking to ensure that all hooks have proper functioning latches, when necessary. Disclaimers: 1. You are not limited to the abatement methods suggested above. 2. The methods explained are general and may not be effective in all cases. 3. The employer is responsible for selecting and carrying out an appropriate method.
