Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard: CRUSHING
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish to each of his employees 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 amputation and crushing hazards: (a) Union Drilling Inc., at Figure Four Ranch # 8016B drill site, Rifle, CO: On or before June 1, 2004, the employer did not ensure that the load on the derrick stayed within the manufacturer's guidelines, thereby exposing three or more employees to amputation and crushing hazards. Abatement Note: Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct the hazard is to avoid loading the rig near its capacity. Doing so would ensure that unexpected load spikes do not exceed the rated capacity of the rig. Abatement Note: Abatement certification and documentation are required for this item (See enclosed "Sample Abatement-Certification Letter").
