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 struck by a railroad car: (a) UHP Electric Furnace Department, Scrap Yard UP 3 Track; On September 20, 1999, there was no member of a train crew at the head end of a moving train to warn anyone along the track who may be in danger. In addition, vision was obstructed and it was not ascertained by some member of the train crew that the track was clear before movement proceeded. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to retrain employees to insure they are on the head end of the train movement when entering and leaving areas or buildings, rail crossings, etc.
