Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: CRUSHING
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: (a)A crushing hazard, on April 15, 1996, in which a powered industrial truck operating in the Yard Area of Payless Cashways at 6110 Irvington Road, Omaha, Nebraska, overturned. As a result, the operator, who was not wearing the seat belt provided on the truck, was killed. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to control the hazard is to develop and implement written procedures requiring operators of powered industrial trucks to wear the seat belts provided when operating trucks. Retrofitting, necessary to install seat belts on powered industrial trucks without them, will be accomplished in accordance with safe design.
