Text For Citation: 01 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) On or about 12/7/90 employees in the molding area were exposed to the hazard of being crushed by being struck by the upper halves of the molds such as the "Y body resin transfer mold" due to being under the molds while they were suspended from hoists such as the Dayton 2-ton No. 12 hoists. (b) Employees operating he Marquis extension molds, Marquis garnish molds, radiator fan shroud molds, and Buick Reatta mold were exposed to the hazards of being crushed by falling upper mold halves while working beneath the molds which were suspended from overhead hoists. Among other methods, feasible and acceptable methods to correct this hazard are the redesign of the molds to eliminate the need to be beneath them or the addition of a "safety bar" or other device which would secure the upper die and prevent its falling or being lowered onto an employee.
