Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  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 falling down the hoistway shaft when the elevator car
was not in the landing zone, being struck by the elevator car when the

prevent employees from having any part of their body within the hoistway
shaft, outside the periphery of the landing, unless the elevator is
within the landing zone and that were electrically interlocked to

gates are in the open position and so latched that the doors or gates
cannot be opened from the landing side unless the elevator car is within
the landing:
