Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003C Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.244(a)(2)(i): In the absence of a firm foundation, the base of the hydraulic piston jack was not blocked: a) On or about February 19, 2025, and at times prior, the employer, Clear Creek Skiing Corporation, did not ensure the base of the hydraulic piston jack was sufficiently blocked for stability during height and slope adjustments of the portable, Mini Magic Carpet surface lift. Employees were required to work on an 8-degree sloped, snow and ice tunnel underneath the surface lift and use hydraulic piston jacks to lift and solely sustain the weight of one or more carpet sections while height-adjustment pins were removed and replaced in the support legs. The hydraulic piston jacks were placed on lumber that was too narrow to support the base of the piston jacks. The lumber was then placed on the sloped surface or on the surface lift's horizontal cross-member that was not rated as a blocking structure. This operation exposed employees to crushing and/or struck-by hazards from an overhead load.
