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 the hazard(s) of being struck-by:
A- Kinderlou Golf Club entrance, Hwy.84 West, Valdosta, Georgia 31603 -
Employees flagging
oncoming vehicles and employees applying thermo plastic paint between the

devices; and enforce the use
of them. Reference Part VI, Section 6G.06 of the Manual on Uniform Traffic
