Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.178(o)(1): The employer did not ensure that only stable or safely arranged loads were handled. Caution was not exercised when handling off-center loads which cannot be centered: (a) At the US Postal Service at Priority Mall docks 86-89, the employer failed to ensure that only stable or safely arranged loads were handled. Forklift trucks were used to unload OTRs where the size of the OTR created an off-center load. At times prior to the inspection, fork lift operators did not ensure the load was stable or safely arranged on the forks while removing the load (OTR) from the tractor trailer such that the load shifted and rocked then tipped off the forks. This condition exposed employees to struck by hazards. The U.S. Postal Service was previously cited for a violation of this occupational safety and health standard or its equivalent standard 29 CFR 1910.178(o)(1), which was contained in OSHA inspection number 1087118, citation number 01, item number 01 and was affirmed as a final order on 10/21/2015, with respect to a workplace located at 34301 9th Ave. S, Federal Way, WA 98003.
