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 a crushing hazard while moving an electrical cabinet: a) Jobsite: On July 6, 2017 and at times prior thereto employees attempted to move an electrical cabinet with a AC Delco hydraulic trolley jack, a transfer dolly, and no stabilizing mechanism in place. The cabinet had been raised on one end using the hand jack and placed on the small floor dolly. As the other end was raised using the hand jack, the weight of the top heavy cabinet shifted causing the floor dolly to move and the cabinet to tip over, exposing the employees to a crushing hazard. The cabinet was complete with internal electrical components, weighing approximately 3000 lbs. It measured 7 feet high, 13 feet across, and 18 inches wide. Note) Certification and documentation are required for this item.
