Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The

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 fall hazards:
a.   Bungee International Inc./dba Bridge Bungee on New River
Gorge - Employee(s) were hoisted and lowered in a personnel
platform connected to the hook of a Grove Model TMS 760

ANSI B30.15, Section 15.3.2.3 Mobile Hydraulic Cranes;
