Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: LIFTING
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: 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 employees were exposed to a struck-by hazard.: On December 14, 2007, in the Cylinder Plating Shop, an employee was exposed to a struck-by hazard lifting a cylinder, to drain oil, with an overhead hoist. The sling used in the rigging was not securely hitched to the cylinder and did not provide control of the load. A feasible means of abatement would be to comply with The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, ASME B30.92003 Standard for Slings, and; ensure that slings are hitched in a manner that provides control of the load; prohibit employees from standing near a suspended load.
