Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
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: (a)Consumers Supply Distributing, LLC at 718 North Derby Lane, North Sioux City, SD 57049: On or about and at times prior to January 15, 2024, the employer did not ensure employees were protected from crushing hazards when performing work under suspended flexible intermediate bulk containers on the tote filling station. This condition exposed employees to crushing hazards. Abatement Note: Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to control this hazard is to comply with the Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container ("FIBC") Association's FIBC Safe Handling Guidelines for emptying FIBC: Never allow personnel to stand or place any appendage under a suspended FIBC. All personnel must be safely clear of any potential hazard when lifting, handling or emptying an FIBC.
