Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: UNAPEQUIP
40.1-51.1.(a): 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 the hazard of working under and around lumber yard equipment that is not chocked to prevent movement. Located at the maintenance garage area, the 1988 Caterpillar V-180B forklift did not have chocks placed at the wheels prior to employees performing maintenance underneath the forklift (oil change). One feasible and acceptable abatement method, among others, to correct this hazard is to provide wheel chocks for maintenance employees to use to immobilize the forklift, prior to performing repair or maintenance work on the forklift, and to train all exposed employees in the purpose of, and correct use of the wheel chocks. This violation was abated on 25 December 1999.ber
