Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.178(n)(14): Running over loose objects on the roadway surface were not avoided. Fry Foods, Inc. - Tiffin, Ohio: On or about March 5, 2025, the employer did not ensure that the floor surface where forklifts are operated in Freezer #1 was free of loose objects. A loose piece of sheet metal that was approximately 2' x 3' was used to cover a section of damaged and uneven floor. Forklift operators, and employees working to stack product in the area, were exposed to struck-by hazards in that running over loose objects can lead to loss of control and affect forklift and load stability.
