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 recognized hazard of being struck by the rotating metal sweeps of the Ferris Wheel. The following conditions contributed to the existence of this hazard: a. On or about April 13, 1993, the employer did not insure that the hoist operator obeyed a stop signal, no matter who gave it when the employee operating the left hoist did not obey the stop signal given by the ride foreman and the hook-up man on the Giant Gondola Wheel #400-003-88, located at 1801 Henderson, Dallas, Texas. Feasible abatement methods to correct this hazard may include, but are not limited to: (1) Requiring the operator to obey the stop signal regardless of who gives it as required by ANSI B30.7 - 1989, Base Mounted Drum Hoists, section 7-3.1.3 (c).
