Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): 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 fall hazards from the weighing head platform: Lettuce Weighing Platform - On or about December 9, 2020, employees were exposed to falls of approximately 13 feet where the guardrail was missing by the sink and not tall enough to protect employees using a stepstool to reach the weighing head. One feasible and acceptable means to abate this violation would be to install an adequate guardrail system in accordance with ANSI/ASSE A1264.1-2007, that covers all areas of the platform, and is high enough to provide protection when employees are using the portable stepstool to access the weighing head.
