General-duty citation text

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 hazard created by the lack of warning for oncoming
motorists that driving
conditions had changed due to the employees' presence in and around the
roadway:
a.   Clinton St., Bow, NH, Tree Trimming Operation - The employer
did not provide
adequate warning about or channelling of oncoming motor vehicle
traffic where
the width of the travel lane was reduced due to the existence
of employees, an
aerial lift truck and trailer mounted chipper in and around the
travel lane.
ABATEMENT NOTE:  Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable
abatement method
to correct this hazard is to set up warning cones from the side of the
roadway
to the corner of
the truck of an appropriate length in order to channel the traffic away
from the side of the road,
where work is being performed, toward the left side of the travel lane.
