or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to
the hazard of eye and head injury from an accident resulting from riding
motor cycle type vehicles without wearing helmets for eye and head

all terrain vehicle (Serial No. JH3TE1400JK003813) and was not
wearing a helmet for head and eye protection and the employer did
not have a program in place that required employees to wear helmets
and eye protection when riding the motorcycle type vehicles on
