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 drowning as in the incident which
occurred at 6th and Main Streets, Kansas City, Missouri on June 23,
1993:
(a)  Employees working in an enclosed active combination sewer
were not provided with an adequate evacuation plan
instructing each employee to exit without delay through
the safest possible manhole.
While ultimate responsibility rests with the employer, given
his/her superior knowledge of the workplace, one feasible and
acceptable method to correct this hazard, among others, includes
providing employees with an evacuation plan based on an evaluation
of the specific worksite design, conditions, and hazards.
Essential elements include:
1.   Evaluation of each work location to determine the
specific hazards of that location, such as rapid
concentration or rain water in the sewer due to terrain
features, high percentage of impermeable surfaces, and
other factors; concentration and size of laterals in
manholes, and other potential hazards.  Evaluation means
could include consultation with persons knowledgeable on
the specific sewer location, direct inspection of the
location, and analysis of available documentation such
as maps, previous engineering inspection reports, and
inspection videotapes.
2.   Evaluation of each work location to determine the safest
possible means of access/egress, determine the safest
possible exits, and where there is a possible hazard of
an obstructed exit designate alternative exits.
3.   Evaluation of the need for ladders, hoists or other
suitable means of egress at each access/egress manhole,
appropriate to the depth of the hole and the number of
attendants that will be present at the hole.
4.   Development of an appropriate evacuation plan that is
based on the evaluation of the location.
