Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.251(c)(9): Slings were not padded or protected from the sharp edges of their loads: The employer is failing to protect employees from the hazard of falling or being crushed by not providing protection for wire rope slings attached over sharp edges. This violation was most recently documented on March 25, 2014, when a wire rope sling being used to connect a gin pole to a communication tower failed, due to being wrapped around the communication tower steel angle leg without being protected from sharp edge of leg. This requirement is consistent with the manufacturer's (American Rigger's Supply Inc.) catalog operating practices, page 10, item numbers 9 and 10.
