Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: LIFTING
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 being struck by logs: a. At the slasher deck, Log moving equipment was not properly maintained, in that, broken and missing "Lifting Lugs" at the 102 Section were not repaired or replaced, causing pine logs to jam at the 102/103 sections several times per shift and exposing employees to overhead hazards and the dangers associated with using chain saws to cut logs that were jammed under and against other logs and/or the slasher deck structure, on or about February 21, 1993. Among other methods, feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct these hazards are to: 1. Immediately repair or replace damaged or missing "Lifting Lugs" 2. Prohibit the use of chain saws by employees to cut jammed logs, and 3. Use the overhead crane and properly installed slings to lift and free jammed logs.
