Section 5(A)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:
The employer did not furnish to each of his employees employment and a
place of employment
which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or were likely
to
cause death or
serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to
struck-by and run over
hazards:
On or about 04/11/06, at U. S. Highway - 27, employees were exposed to the
hazards of being
struck and run over by vehicular equipment while operating a flat bed
truck and sitting on a
lowered tailgate door of a pick-up truck without using restraining devices
such as, but not
limited to seat belts.
Among other methods of abatement, one feasible and acceptable method to
correct this hazard
is to prohibit employees from operating this type of equipment and riding
on tailgate doors
without wearing restraining devices, such as but not limited to seat belts.
PLEASE NOTE: DOCUMENTATION AND CERTIFICATION OF ABATEMENT IS
