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:
Tripping and falling around chemical tanks due to inadequate lighting in
the
plating areas. Levels of illumination measured were less than 10
footcandles at
or near the tanks containing corrosive chemicals. Among other methods, one
feasible and acceptable means of correcting the hazard would be to provide
lighting, as recommended by American National Standards Institute in its
publication on Industrial Lighting sponsored by the Illuminating
