Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.179(b)(6)(ii): Where passageways or walkways were provided, obstructions were so placed that the safety of personnel was jeopardized by movements of crane(s): (a) Facility, Test Bay, 1406 Perry Highway, Portersville, PA: On or about 06/04/15 the passageways in the test bay where employees move to operate the crane were not clear of obstructions. The tubes ready for testing are unloaded from trailers and stored on the floor in the immediate work area. The employees have to travel over and around them to move a tube from the storage area to the test wells. Due to the limited mobility in the area bungee cords have been attached to the pendant so employees can hold on to it while traveling over the tubes.
