Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A 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 being struck by concrete forms: WORKSITE: The employer neither provided appropriate and specific training and instruction prior to allowing employees to perform the "task", dismantling the PERI CB240 climbing scaffolds/concrete forms, nor conducted visual observation while performing the task. On or about 10/19/2011, a section of a PERI CB240 climbing scaffold /concrete form, which was not properly secured in the upright position fell and struck one of employees while performing the task due to improper removal of a part. The employee sustained serious injuries from the incident. Among others, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard is to: 1. Develop and implement written step-by-step procedures for the proper dismantling of the scaffold/concrete form. 2. Train employees in the safe work practices and procedures. 3. Utilize other engineering feasibilities.ete
