Text For Citation: 01 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 the hazard of being caught in-between equipment: a) Colorado Timber Resources, LLC at 210 County Road 21, Parshall, CO 80468: On or before July 24, 2015, the employer did not ensure that an employee was protected from being caught in-between the lift arms of the Bobcat skid loader and its frame. An employee was performing maintenance on the Bobcat skid loader, model 763 serial number 512243023, with the lift arms raised and without blocking them. When the lift arms lowered, the employee was caught in-between the lift arms and the Bobcat frame, with the resulting injuries contributing to this fatality. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method is to follow the directions on a plate on the Bobcat skid loader, which stated: "Avoid death. Keep out of this area when lift arms are raised unless supported by lift arm stop. Moving a lift arm control or the failure of a part can cause the lift arms to drop."
