General-duty citation text

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 swinging superstructure of the Case 880B backhoe was not
barricaded to prevent employees from walking between said swinging
superstructure and a concrete wall at the construction site at 4th
and Gregory, Champaign, Illinois.
Among other methods, one feasible an acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is to establish a perimeter guard of barricades
around all equipment with a swinging superstructure or machinery with a
similar movement.  These barricades should be of a substantial nature so
that employees encountering them will be made aware that they are
entering a danger area.
