Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: STRUCK BY
IN THE ALTERNATIVE 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: (a)On or about June 19, 2002, employees working from the platform of an elevated Skyjack scissors lift in the steel warehouse between the runways of an active overhead bridge crane were exposed to being struck by the moving bridge crane or caught between the moving crane and storage/adjacent structure(s). Among other methods, feasible and acceptable means for abating this condition include ensuring compliance with the manufacturer's specifications for operation of Skyjack scissors lifts including not operating near cranes and specifications found in the American National Standard for Self-Propelled Elevating Work Platforms, ANSI/SIA A92.6-1999, for the safe operation of scissors lifts, to include ensuring aerial lifts are not elevated/operated in the vicinity of an active overhead crane, or by taking steps to prevent inadvertent movement of the crane by blocking the path of crane travel with means such as rail clamps or similar devices.
