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: a) The hazard of broken bones or death due to inappropriate operation of the hydroclave on or about 02/08/89 that could cause steam to develop and cause excessive pressure in the vessel.
