Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: UNAPOPPROC
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 drowning hazard: (a)On November 28, 2006, employees were exposed to a drowning hazard while operating a skiff (Jon boat) between mile markers 403.6 and 404.0 on the Mississippi River. The air horn provided as part of the skiff's emergency equipment was encased in its original anti-theft packaging and not available for signaling use in the event of an emergency. (b)On November 28, 2006, employees were exposed to a drowning hazard while operating a skiff (Jon boat) between mile markers 403.6 and 404.0 on the Mississippi River with a 75 horsepower outboard motor which could overpower the skiff. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is: (1)Provide an air horn in the skiff which has been removed from all security packaging so that it is immediately accessible and available for emergency use; and (2)Provide an outboard motor for the skiff of appropriate horsepower and which is not overpowered for the skiff and its intended use. Abatement verification is required for this violation. The abatement certification sheet is enclosed with the citation(s).
