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

exposed to crushing injuries:
a.   In that employee(s) felling trees were not instructed to
keep all other personnel out of the fall range of trees
being felled; a contractor employee was permitted to work
