Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which was free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees to struck-by hazards created by mobile equipment operation. On or about April 26, 2017 at the mulch area while relocating the mulch to the tub grinder, employees operated a Caterpillar 924GZ wheel loader with missing and broken mirrors and cracked windshield. With no functional mirrors and the windshield cracked created blind spots for the vehicle operator, exposing employees to being struck by the moving equipment.
