Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: STRUCK BY
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 vehicular traffic while performing work functions such as but not limited to surveying and measuring: On or About September 4, 2003, a safe work zone consisting of devices such as but not limited to warning signs and barriers was not established in the 24 foot 4 inch wide, 136 foot 4 inch long roadway on the west side of 38 Volunteer Lane in Greenwich, CT where activity such as but not limited to surveying and measurement work was being performed. A Senior Land Surveyor sustained a fatal head injury while performing surveying and measurement work. Among other methods, feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard would be to establish work zones with appropriate warning signs and barriers in accordance with American National Standards Institute(ANSI) D6.1-1971 or more recent edition, Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways.
