Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.451(a)(6): Scaffolds were not loaded in accordance with the design by a qualified person: (a) On or about June 19, 2019, and at times prior, the employer Ironwood Group LLC, did not ensure that employees operating and working from a Skyjack SJIII Series aerial platform model 3219 were loading it in accordance with its design in that employees were hoisting down steel pipes approximately 20 feet in length and weighing approximately 260 pounds. Skyjack SJIII Series Operating Manual states "Do Not use the aerial platform as a crane. It is prohibited. Do Not exceed the rated capacity of the aerial platform. Do make sure the load is evenly distributed on the platform." The steel pipe swung loose while being hoisted and hit the side of the aerial platform, causing it to tip and eject the employees. The employees suffered fractures and contusions. Abatement Note: Abatement certification is required for this item (see enclosed "Certification of Corrective Action Worksheet").
