Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
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 employees were exposed to a hazard of being struck by a moving train: A) Doctortown Train Trestle, on or about February 20, 2014, employees were working from a live railroad trestle without any safety procedures established such as securing the tracks from any type of train traffic in the area, or having a plan that would allow ample time for everyone to exit the trestle with all of their equipment and props. This exposed employees to a hazard of being struck by a train traveling on the tracks. One feasible means of abatement, among others, is to 1) obtain permission from the railroad company to film on the trestle; 2) control train traffic so that no trains would travel through while employees were working on the trestle.
