Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.20(b)(2): The employer did not provide for frequent and regular inspections of the job sites, materials, and equipment or ensure inspections were made by competent persons designated by the employers: (a)Black Hills Area Habitat for Humanity, Inc., at 613 Lemmon Avenue, Rapid City, SD 57701: On or about and at times prior to August 14, 2018, the exposing employer did not ensure an accident prevention program was developed and implemented for the work environment to include regular inspections of the job-site, materials, and equipment; conducted by a competent person. Employees were utilizing a rough terrain forklift to set trusses on a single-family home without evaluating the site conditions related to operation of the machine. The terrain was sloped at approximately 11 degrees and the ground was saturated with water from a recent heavy rain. The operator of the rough terrain forklift was turning with an elevated load on an incline which caused the forklift to roll-over and the boom to strike an employee causing serious injuries. The condition exposed employees to crushing and struck-by hazards. Abatement Note: OSHA defines a "competent" person as one who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.
