Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: STRUCK BY
North Carolina General Statute 95-129(01) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of North Carolina: The employer did not furnish each of his employees conditions of employment and a place of employment free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to struck by hazards. a)job site - The employer, using an unfamiliar bridge construction method, allowed employees to weld on components of a strong back temporary support system without determining it was safe to do so. On or about Dec 3, 2008, one employee was killed, and others were injured, when the support system failed causing a concrete girder to fall. Reference: DYWIDAG Prestressing Steel Thread Bar system technical data "Precautions with Prestressing Steel Threadbars" pg. 3 "Do not weld or allow sparks near". Feasible abatement method would be for the employer to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and specifications, and not weld on the rods.
