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 being caught in a rotating conveyor belt: (a) M-2 Mill, coil conveyor; Employees were exposed to crushing hazards between coil cars while crossing the conveyor line due to unexpected start up of the conveyor.
