Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: 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 falling loads due to a failure of the spreader bar: (a) Facility, Spruce Street, Windber, PA: On or about April 8, 2009, the home-made spreader bar being used to lift truck beds was not proof tested and labeled as to its rated load capacity. In addition, no frequent and periodic inspections are conducted of this spreader bar. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means of abatement is to conduct load testing, frequent and periodic inspections of the spreader bar in accordance with ASME/ANSI B30.20; Below The Hook Lifting Devices.
