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: falls of approximately 22 feet from roof of building "B"
while manually
hoisting materials from the ground to the roof.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is
to furnish and require the use of a fall arrest system for employees
working on or near the edge
of the roof.
