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 fall and struck-by hazards.
(a)Doyle Shamrock Molded Plastics, 1440 Holloway Road, Holland, Ohio:  On
or about February 24, 2009, the employer did not ensure that the personnel
platform
was used in a safe manner.  Employees were on the platform and transported
through
the facility which exposed them to a struck-by hazard in the event they
were thrown
from the platform and hit by the fork truck.  The platform was not
securely attached
to the fork truck carriage which would allow the platform to slide off the
forks and
throw the employees to the concrete floor.
One feasible and acceptable method of abatement to correct this hazard is
to ensure
that the personnel platform used to elevate workers is used in compliance
with the
requirements set forth in ANSI/ITSDF B56.1-2005, Safety Standard for Low
Lift and
High Lift Trucks, Section 4.17 Elevating Personnel.
In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required
for this
violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET),
and in addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete
must be
included with your certification.  This documentation may include, but is
not limited to,
evidence of the purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video
evidence of
abatement, or other written records.

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 the potential of being struck by material
carried by the crane if
the material were disengaged from the crane hook due to a broken safety
latch:
(a)Doyle Shamrock Molded Plastics, 1440 Holloway Road, Holland, Ohio:  On
or about March 24, 2009, the employer did not ensure that the hook for the
3 ton
model T-456-2R, serial number 233262 crane in the injection molding area
was
provided with an effective safety latch.  The safety latch was bent and
would not
close the hook's throat.  The crane was used to move injection molds
weighing an
estimated 1,000 pounds.
Among other methods, a feasible abatement method to correct this hazard is
to
comply with the requirements of ASME B30.10-2005 "Safety Standards for
Cableways, Cranes, Hoists, Hooks, Jacks, and Slings"   Section 10-1.2.1.3
(c) Hooks
having any of the following conditions shall be removed from service until
repaired or
replaced, . . (5) Inoperative Latch. Any latch that does not close the
hook's throat;
Section 10.1.2.3 (c) A hook latch, when required, that is inoperative
shall be replaced
or repaired; and Section 10.1.2.3 (d) A hook with a latch that does not
close the
throat opening shall be removed from service or moused until the latch is
replaced or
repaired.
In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(c), abatement certification is required
for this
violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET).
