Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1960.8(a): The head of each agency did not furnish to each employee employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or were likely to cause death or serious physical harm in that employees were exposed to the hazard of being struck by hazardous trees: At the Saddle Back Fire in the Modoc National Forest's South Warren Wilderness, on or about June 10, 2013, U.S. Forest Service management failed to ensure: 1. A local job hazard analysis for fire suppression of hazardous trees was completed and that employees read and understood the contents, received the required training, and were qualified to perform the job as required under Section 21.1 of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service FSH 6709.1 Health and Safety Code Handbook. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard is to: 1. Complete a local job hazard analysis for fire suppression of hazardous trees and require supervisors certify that employees have read and understood the contents, have received the required training, and were qualified to perform the job. The job hazard analysis must address potential hazard tree indicators, assessment techniques for potential hazard trees, and risk mitigation measures for identified hazard trees. A good template for a local job hazard analysis is the May 31, 2005, National Interagency Template, titled Working in the Vicinity of Hazard Trees. Note: A local job hazard analysis is not required for each hazardous tree fire. A single local job hazard analysis is sufficient that addresses unique local conditions such as, but not necessarily limited to, terrain, possible weather conditions, types of trees, and available equipment.
