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:
On or before July 29, 1993, employees were working adjacent to open sided
floors

in the
dark.
b) Do not work at open side floor areas without guard rails or without
