Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.28(b)(15): (15) Walking-working surfaces not otherwise addressed. Except as provided elsewhere in this section or by other subparts of 29 CFR part 1910, the employer did not ensure that each employee on a walking-working surface 4 feet (1.2 m) or more above a lower level was protected from falling: On or before 3/16/2020, at O'Fallon Casting, located at 600 Cannonball Lane, O'Fallon, the employer exposed employees to fall hazards when it failed to provide protection from a 5 feet 1 inch fall from a stand/frame located in the Shell Department. The most recent instance of this occurred on 3/11/2020 when an employee attempted to unclog flour located in a hopper so that it would feed into the prep tank. The employee performed this task in the pre-coat area while standing on an approximately 3 inch stand/frame located next to the pre-coat hopper.
