(c) Plant Area; "Nissan" front end loader; Worker operating loader without a functional parking brake and the seat belts were not functional. Additionally, the running lights were inoperative and the equipment was being operated in a dimly lit building. This condition exposed worker to crushing injuries or death from rollover, striking equipment or personnel.
