furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment
which was free
from recognized hazards that had caused or could have caused death or
serious physical harm
to his employees:
On or about 1/28/94 the employer, a subcontractor for steel erection, set
steel and
bolted up steel on a bridge without using safety harness, shock absorbing
lanyards, life lines
or other means of fall protection exposing workers to falls from heights
up to approximately
