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 struck-by hazards while hoisting materials: a.In the Pickling Line Area, the employer did not label the"C" hooks used on the cranes to transport steel coils throughout the area with the rated load capacity, thus exposing employees to a struck-by hazard. b.In the Machine Shop Welding Area, the employer did not label the "S" hook used on the crane to move armatures and bearing cartridges from the storage area to the welding table and back with the rated load capacity, thus exposing employees to a struck-by hazard. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard is to affix data plates to the "C" hooks and the "S" hook in accordance with ASME Standard B30.20, Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices, Section 20-1.2.
