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)  Hardware Department, Building number three (3):  Employees
were exposed to crushing injuries at the bottom of the inclined
lift area when the carrier was coming down.  Employees, while
working at the bottom level, could get parts of their bodies in
the path of the carrier as it descended.
NOTE:  Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement
method to correct this hazard is to install a suitable enclosure
on all sides of the path of the carrier and equip the enclosure
with an interlocked door to prevent employees from getting any
part of their body in the path of the carrier until it is stopped
at the bottom and only then doors could be opened; in accordance
with ANSI Standard B20.1-1990, paragraph 6.6.2(b)(c).
