SupplyLink.com put together a fascinating list of OSHA's Top 10 Workplace Safety Violations. Listed below are two of the ten violations that could have been prevented if proper preventative hardware was in place.
2. Fall Protection – 6,771 violations
Any time a worker is at a height of four feet or more, the worker is at risk and needs to be protected. Fall protection must be provided at four feet in general industry, five feet in maritime and six feet in construction.
10. Machine Guarding – 2,364 violations
Any machine part, function, or process that may cause injury must be safeguarded. When the operation of a machine or accidental contact injures the operator or others in the vicinity, the hazards must be eliminated or controlled.
