Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1918.81(a): Drafts were not safely slung before being hoisted. a) For the bundles of 42-foot, 3.5-inch diameter black pipe being hoisted from the vessel Honesty Ocean at Berth 201 at Port Tampa, on or about 10/23/2012. In that loads were not centered within the slings when being drafted. This practice is even more critical when using a 4-foot spreader bar for 42-foot pipe. Drafting an off-center load would cause the load to be off-balance which could result in the lower slings being pulled upward. This action would either just dump the load of pipe out of the end of the basket hitch, or cause the metal bands on the bundles to cut the slings. b) While loads were being moved, unused, extra synthetic web slings were allowed to hang freely from the loads to facilitate delivery of the extra slings. The freely hanging slings exposed the loads to be snagged on equipment and dumping the load.
