Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): 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: The employer is failing to protect employees from potential struck by and caught between hazards associated with employees operating equipment with worn or damaged parts and past due on service. This was most recently evident during the inspection of the facility located 5 miles NW of Albion on Hwy 14, Albion, NE 68620 where the employer has employees operating a Caterpillar 950 front end loader with a failing emergency brake and outdated servcie records to move millings and asphalt throughout the facility. Among other methods, feasible and acceptable methods of abatement are: 1. Require and validate operators conducting pre-operation inspections whereby the operators report malfunctions or improperly operating equipment to the management. 2. Require and validate that the equipment is serviced in accordance with the Operation and Maintenance Manual where it specifically states that the brakes are to be serviced every 250 hours.
