Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard would be to install a new rope on the manlift. (d) Employees were exposed to a potential crushing hazard while working near the base of the manlifts in the north unit and in the main elevator due to the lack of guardrails around the base of the manlifts.
