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 exposed live electrical parts:
a) M/V Palisades:  The breaker box located in the engine room used to

Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is close opening with a dead front to prevent
accidental contact with energized parts.

Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
