Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: FALLING
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: 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) Employee working on top of a De-8 fuelage was not protected against falls when employee was wearing a fall protection assembly that allowed a fall of approximately 15 to 20 feet down from the working surface to below the wing level. (b) The lifeline (horizontal line/static line) between two fixed anchorages to which the lanyard was secured either by tying off or by means of a suitable sliding connection was not capable of supporting a minimum deadweight of 5400 pound (2450 kg) per person and each lifeline (static line) was not of wire rope at least 1/2" (12.5mm) in diameter attached to at least two fixed anchorages. Reference ANSI-A-10.14. (c) All belt, harness and lanyard systems were not kept as short as reasonably possible to minimize the possibility and length of a free fall. Reference ANSI-A-10.14. Among other methods one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to install a suspension system that will prevent employee falls while working in areas where the use of platforms is not feasible.
