Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.251(a)(1): Rigging equipment for material handling shall be inspected prior to use on each shift and as necessary during its use to ensure that it is safe. Defective rigging equipment shall be removed from service. (a)First Dakota Enterprises, Inc. at Hilgers Gulch Sanitary Sewer Line Project, Pierre, SD 57501: On or about and at times prior to July 14, 2017, the employer did not ensure that a 5/8-inch four leg wire rope bridle sling was inspected prior to use. The four-legged sling had numerous wires within an independent wire rope that were broken around a damaged thimble on one of the legs used to raise and lower the trench box from the excavation. This condition exposed employees to struck by hazards associated with rigging failure.
