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 employment and a place of employment which are free from the recognized hazard of being struck by falling equipment and materials which are causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm: The employer does not train employees in the safe movement of heavy equipment. This violation occurred on or about September 27, 2010, at the 11129 E. 56th St., S., Tulsa, OK worksite when the employer allowed employees to use Hilman Equipment Company Express, model T-3.75LD rollers without following the manufacturer's instruction manual exposing employees to being struck by falling equipment. Among other feasible methods to correct the identified hazard,one method would be to comply with the manufacturer's instruction manual. 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 establish, communicate, and implement written procedures to ensure that employees correctly use the rollers when moving heavy equipment.
