Abate by
Penalty
Initial $1125.00 · Current $844.00 Reduced
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 hazard of overloading the crane:
(a)StarKist Dock Area - On or about October 27, 2008 and at times prior
thereto, the
crane operators for cranes 3, 5 and 7 did not know how to read a load
chart.  The
employer never administered a practical examination to crane operators to
ensure that
they understand how to read and interpret load charts.
AMONG OTHER METHODS, ONE ACCEPTABLE MEANS OF ABATEMENT WOULD
BE TO ADMINISTER A PRACTICAL TEST TO OPERATORS AS SPECIFIED IN
SECTION 5-3.1.2 AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS INSTITUTE, B30.5-1968,
SAFETY CODE FOR CRAWLER, LOCOMOTIVE AND TRUCK CRANES.
OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE
29 CFR 1910.180(b)(3):  The employer did not ensure only designated
personnel were
permitted to operate a crane covered by this section:
(a)StarKist Dock Area - On or about October 27, 2008 and at times prior
thereto, the
employer allowed personnel to operate mobile cranes that were not
qualified or
trained to read and interpret load charts.
NOTE:  29 CFR 1910.180(a)(21) defines designated as a person selected or
assigned by the
employer or the employer's representative as being qualified to perform
specific duties.  One
critical qualification of a crane operator is the ability to read and
interpret load charts.
