Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: Wolf Landscape Design - The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which was 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 due to improper maintenance, lack of seatbelt and rollover protective structure on the Massey Ferguson front wheel drive loader. Interviews and observations indicated that the loader was not equipped with a seatbelt nor a rollover protective structure. Among other methods, feasible and acceptable methods to control the hazard would be to: 1. Equip the loader with a rollover protective structure and seatbelt. 2. Institute a company work rule effectively communicated to all employees regarding the use of seatbelts when operating the loader and a graduated system of enforcement to ensure that the employees use the seatbelt. 3. Develop written procedures for inspections, operation, and maintenance of the loader. Training should include classroom and driving training. Some inspection procedures could include functional seatbelts, fluid levels, tire conditions. 4. Document maintenance that is performed on the loader. Abatement certification and abatement documentation is required for this violation.
