Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard: CRUSHING
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety & 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 potential crushing hazards in the event of a wire hoist rope failure. A feasible and useful method to correct this hazard, among other methods, is to open the entry area for the hoist line coming through the roof so the rope would spool properly: Jobsite: The opening in the silo roofs restricted the wire rope from spooling properly on the hoist drum.
