Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: CRUSHING
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 crushing injuries: Welding Shop, SSV Area - Welders are exposed to crushing injuries from wall mounted and floor mounted jib cranes fabricated in house. Approximately 27 cranes were modified and put into service, but were not analyzed by a qualified person or manufacturer of the equipment as required by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers ASME B30.11-1993. On or about February 02, 2001, a wall mounted jib crane fell from its supporting structure and struck an employee. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to have all cranes and their supporting structures which are fabricated in house, analyzed by a qualified person. The qualified person would be one who, by possession of a recognized degree, or certificate of professional standing, or who, by extensive knowledge, training and experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the subject matter and work.r
