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

employees in that employees
were exposed to being struck by vehicular traffic:
a)An employee was not wearing a vest where there was an exposure to moving
traffic.

with suitable traffic vests and provided with training that enables them
to recognize and control
hazards associated with vehicles; and, b) Comply with the applicable
elements required by the
