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 in that the employer utilized storage rack systems with visible structural damage exposing employees to struck-by and crushing hazards: (a)Red's All Natural, LLC at 803 Derby Lane, North Sioux City, SD 57049: On or about and at times prior to May 5, 2021, the employer did not ensure damaged industrial steel storage rack systems located in the small freezer were unloaded and isolated until evaluated and repaired to the original design capacity. The storage rack system had two areas involving forklift impact damage to steel column legs and base plates to include additional damage to a vertical column and horizontal member that affected the structural load carrying capacity of the racking system. The damaged storage rack had stored product weighing approximately 3500lbs. This condition exposed employees to struck-by and crushing hazards associated with overloading and failure of the storage rack system. Abatement Note: Among other methods, feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct this hazard are to follow American National Standard Institute(ANSI) and Rack Manufacturers Institute (RMI)-ANSI-RMI MH 16:1-2012, "Specification for the Design, Testing and Utilization of Industrial Steel Storage Racks." Under paragraph 1.4.1 Owner Maintenance, (2)"Regularly inspect for damage. If damage is found, immediately isolate the affected area. Have a storage rack design professional evaluate the damage and unload, replace or repair if directed by the professional, any damaged columns, beams, or other structural component to restore the system to at least its original design capacity." Additionally, under paragraph 1.4.9 Rack Damage, "Upon any visible damage, the pertinent portions of the rack shall be immediately isolated by the user until the damaged portion is evaluated by a storage rack design professional. Before allowing the rack to be placed into service the design professional must certify that the rack system and/or the repaired components have been restored to at least their original design capacity."
