Attachment #1 <br />OSHA Violations <br />Job Location: Hypoluxo Road, West Palm Beach, FL <br />Owner: Palm Beach County <br />Owner's Telephone #: 561-684-4180 <br />On April 24, 2009, Ranger Construction Industries, Inc. was cited under subpart <br />1926.701(b) Concrete and Masonry Construction: Reinforcing Steel. All protruding <br />reinforcing steel, onto and into which employees could fall, shall be guarded to <br />eliminate the hazard of impalement. <br />Circumstances: <br />A gap was present in a barrier wall where rebar protruded from the walls edge <br />into the gap. The gap was very small and would prove to be difficult for a person <br />to attempt to use the area as a means of passing form one side of the wall to the <br />other. OSHA asserted that an employee could choose to attempt to use the gap as <br />a walkway, and receive lacerations or abrasions from the rebar. The condition was <br />quickly abated. A reduced citation in the amount of $526.00 was paid. <br />Mark E.
