Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.272(k): Receiving pit feed openings in the grain handling facility, such as truck or railcar receiving pits, were not covered by grates which had a maximum opening width of 2 1/2 inches: The employer is failing to protect employees from trip hazards in the facility. The grating covering the dump pit in the facility exceeds the requirements of this standard. Employees working in this area are exposed to injuries including but not limited to, sprains and strains to ankles and knees if they were to step into these gate openings. One instance, which was identified on February 14th, 2017 involved the grating on the dump pit in the main building located in the facility located at 2610 Grand Avenue, Kearney, Nebraska.
