to afford safe footing
and were not protected by safety belts and lifelines while working aloft
at elevations more than
5 feet above a solid surface:
(a)East Bank, Wet Dock #4 - Employees preparing to unload a "Translation
Strongback Jig", climbed the frame of the jig without fall protection,
exposing
themselves to falls of approximately 9', to the asphalt pavement.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this
hazard is to develop, communicate, and enforce a Job Safety Practice for
the loading and
unloading of Translation Strongback Jigs.gback
