Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard: FALLING
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: a) Fall of up to 45 feet where employees were allowed to ride the traveling block to the rod basket on Rig #11. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard would be to provide employees and enforce the use of safety belts with appropriate lanyards and safety attachments anchored and adjusted to prevent a fall of more than 5 feet while riding the traveling block.
