Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: STRUCK BY
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 the condition(s) listed below: Hi-Plains Millwright & Supply, Inc., 909 E. 4th, Plainview, TX 79072. For the period of time up to and including 09/17/11, employees were exposed to struck-by hazards due to fabricated towers not being secured. Adequate procedures were not developed and implemented to prevent towers in different stages of fabrication from tipping over. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard would be to develop and implement procedures that would ensure towers were secured to prevent employees from being injured.
