Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: FALLING
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 the hazard of falling from an unsecured metal ladder onto objects and surfaces below: The outside wall of the Shipping Department is where a 20-foot metal extension ladder was used without being secured, on or about 6/11/90. Among others, some feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct this hazard are: (1) properly secure the metal ladder to prevent its being dislodged from its intended position, (2) use a more stable apparatus to perform maintenance at elevated levels, i.e., a scaffold, (3) enforce safe maintenance procedures, and (4) do not push or pull when working from an unsecured metal ladder.
