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:
a) On or about November 5, 1988, employees were permitted to ride on the
outside step of the van tag #DD5598 and standing by the open doorway
of the van at Palm Beach International airport exposing employees to
possible falling hazards from the moving van.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
is to prohibit employees from riding in vans unless in proper seating
using seat belts.
