Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): 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 a hatch boss was exposed to crushing injuries from being struck-by intermodal containers. Onboard M/V COSCO ANTWERP, bay thirty, forward, upper level and aft catwalk: The employer does not require employees to keep clear of work in the zone of danger and/or stay out of the bight or provide an alternative method of protection for employees while they working near suspended containers. Employees are at risk of being struck-by an intermodal container if it swings or falls when they're working in the vicinity of the container, including situations in which a twist lock becomes inoperable. This was most recently observed on April 22, 2013 when: a) while unlocking and waiting to unlock inoperable twistlocks on bay thirty, forward, upper level catwalk, a crane boss was exposed to being struck-by intermodal containers when working in the aisle adjacent to a container bay being discharged and within thirty six inches of the area where containers were being handled by the crane and; b) while unlocking and waiting to unlock inoperable twistlocks on bay thirty, aft catwalk, a crane boss was exposed to being struck by an intermodal container or its contents when working in the aisle adjacent to a container bay being discharged and within one container width of container being handled by the crane. AMONG OTHER METHODS, ONE FEASIBLE AND ACCEPTABLE METHOD TO CORRECT THIS HAZARD IS: To follow OSHAFact Sheet (FS-3583 dated 12/2012) titled "Freeing Inoperable Semi-Automatic Twist Locks (SATLs) in Longshoring", the recommendations of the Maritime Advisory Committee for Occupational Safety and Health (MACOSH) longshore group and the Pacific Coast Marine Safety Code Rule #1513. SSA Marine was previously cited for a violation of this Occupational Safety and Health standard or its equivalent standard Section 5(a)(1) which was contained in OSHA Inspection #312422264, Citation #001, Item 001, issued on 02/17/2009 having a Final Order March 3, 2011.
