Section 5(a)(1):
%%
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:
On or about 8-29-95, employee(s) were exposed to the hazard of being backed
over by the Caterpillar Model 966C front endloader, S/N 7654071C, used on
the
load track, as there was no backup alarm provided, nor was a spotter being
used.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct
this hazard is to install a back-up alarm.
