Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: LIFTING
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer does not furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from the recognized hazards of being struck-by and crushed-by which are causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees: This violation occurred on or about February 29, 2012 in the warehouse area where employees were exposed to a struck-by and crushed-by hazard when a coil grab lifting device that was designed to only lift steel coils was being used to remove and replace a steel lid on a railroad car. Among other feasible methods to correct the identified hazard, one method would be to use a below the hook lifting device that is designed to handle loads for which it is designed per ASME B30.20 Below the Hook Lifting Devices, paragraph 20-1.4.4(b). Pursuant to 29 C.F.R 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date, the employer must submit documentation describing the actions it is taking to ensure that all loads are being handled by devices for which they are designed.
