Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: FALLING
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 employees were exposed to the hazard of striking objects in the roadway: a) Entrance to Fall Line Parking Lot: On November 13, 2007, and at times prior thereto, employees operating ATVs on the roadways were exposed to the hazard of striking wire rope cables extended across a road in order to restrict access. The wire rope gate/barricade was not made visible with an object marker sign nor was a warning sign placed to alert employees of conditions that might not be readily apparent when operating ATVs or other vehicles on this road. Note: Abatement certification and documentation IS required for this item. One feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to comply with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) 2003 Edition. Chapter 3C describes the requirements of marking obstructions within the roadway and end-of-roadway makers which includes, but is not limited to, design, placement, inspection, maintenance, and retroreflectivity and/or illumination. In addition, Chapter 5C describes the use and design of warning signs on low-volume roads to provide advance warning to the road user of unexpected conditions on or adjacent to the roadway that might not be readily apparent.
