OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): 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 the hazards of crushing injuries from collapsing storage racks: a) Freezer # 2, J.P.Lillis Enterprises Inc. dba Cape Cod Ice 1 Noyes Ave. East Providence, RI 02914: On or about 6/10/14 the employer did not maintain storage racks supporting pallets of bags of packaged ice in adequate condition in that several upright support frame members exhibited damage resulting in the frames being deformed by .5 to 2.25 inches from the vertical plane, exposing employees to crushing injuries from collapsing storage racks. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means of abatement is to follow the Rack Manufacturers Institute "Specification for the Design, Testing and Utilization of Industrial Steel Storage Racks " ANSI MH16.1 Sections 1.4.9, 1.4.11.1 and 1.4.11.2 and take damaged racking out of service until repaired or replaced. Additional abatement actions include posting the storage racks with plaques identifying safe loading rates for the racks as outlined in Section 1.4.2 of the above referenced ANSI Standard. b) Loading Bays, J.P.Lillis Enterprises Inc. dba Cape Cod Ice 1 Noyes Ave. East Providence, RI 02914: On or about 6/10/14 the employer did not maintain storage racks supporting various materials including pallets of bulk cardboard, and polyethylene packaging material, totes of parking lot sand, floor cleaning equipment in adequate condition in that several upright support frame members exhibited damage resulting in the frames being dented and deformed at their base, exposing employees to crushing injuries from collapsing storage racks. |
