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:
a. On or about December 17, 2008 - at the above addressed jobsite, the
employer allowed his
employees to operate and lift large steel beams using lifting straps
placed around the forks or
a Gradall 534D-9 Rough Terrain Forklift when this practice is not
recommended and or
approved by the manufacturer. The employees were thereby exposed to struck
by hazards due
to the possibility of the load sliding out of the sling or off the forks.
One feasible and acceptable
method to correct this hazard, among other means, would be for the
contractor to purchase and
or rent the appropriate attachments, i.e. truss boom or crane hook to
replace existing forks.
Either of these two attachments are better suited and approved for this
type of work.
