Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
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 a) On or about November 15, 2023, and times prior, the employer did not ensure that powered industrial vehicle operators were provided safe forward clearances at the automated Rytec roll-up Freezer door nearest the Bun Room. Opposing traffic was allowed to proceed through the automated roll-up door (blind spot) in a manner that exposed drivers of powered industrial vehicles to the potential for head-on collisions/contacts. Pressure sensors installed in the travel path on the Freezer interior floor were positioned and operated in a manner that allowed for powered industrial vehicles to meet unexpectedly head on when the door rolled up under the powered industrial vehicle operating conditions allowed by the employer.
