Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer failed to furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which was free from recognized hazards that were causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm, in that employees were exposed to being struck by and burned by hot metal racks and hot aluminum product, which can weigh up to 8,000 lbs., when the racks ride off the flanged rollers of the roller/rack conveyor causing the racks to tip over onto employees. On October 30, 2012, three employees were pushing two hot metal racks stacked one on top of the other, loaded with hot pieces of aluminum and weighing an estimated 4,000-5,000 lbs. through Oven #1 on the roller/rack conveyor. The rack came off the conveyor rollers and the rack and aluminum product crushed and burned two employees.
