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: (a) Location: Jobsite; On or about 10/21/94, employees were exposed to the hazard of being crushed by a pre-cast concrete end cap as it was being lowered into place by a crane. The hazard resulted from the fact that the lifting inserts failed because they did not have the sufficient strength to support the weight of the concrete end cap. One feasible and acceptable method of correcting the hazard is to insure that proper lifting inserts are installed in accordance with the manufacturers specifications. OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE 29 CFR 1926.704(c): Lifting inserts which were embedded or otherwise attached to precast concrete members, other than the tilt-up members, were not capable of supporting at least four times the maximum intended load applied or transmitted to them: (a) Location: Jobsite; On or about 10/21/94, employees were exposed to the hazard of being crushed by a crane supported concrete and panel that had fallen as a result of failure of the lifting inserts.
