employer did not
furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from
recognized hazards

employees, in that,
employees were exposed to the hazards of being struck by the elevator car

height and width of the openings to prevent employees from having any part
of their body
within the hoistway shaft, outside the periphery of the landing, unless
the elevator is within
the landing zone and that were electrically interlocked to prevent the
elevator car from
moving when the hoistway or landing doors or gates are in the open
position and so latched
that the doors or gates cannot be opened from the landing side unless the
elevator car in
within the landing:

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,

and useful method
to correct this hazard, among other methods, is to provide side rails
