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 was free from
recognized hazards
which were likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in
that, employees
were exposed to crushing and struck-by hazards:
a)  On or about October 27, 2010, and at times prior employees were
exposed to crushing
and struck-by hazards while they used slings and other rigging hardware,
such as shackles, to
attach wind turbine tower sections to Kalmar Reach Stackers without first
receiving training
in the safe use of the slings and rigging hardware.
Both ASME B30.26 (Rigging Hardware) and ASME B30.9 (Slings) require
training in areas
such as selection, inspection, cautions to personnel and the effects of
the environment for
employees using this type of equipment.
Abatement:
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct the hazard is
to provide the training required by ASME B30.26 and ASME B30.9 to all
employees
involved in rigging to ensure that rigging equipment is used in an
appropriate and safe
manner.
Abatement Note:  Abatement documentation and certification is required for
