causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in
that employees were
exposed to crushing and struck-by hazards:

which exposed a
Brechan Enterprises Inc. (subcontractor) employee to a caught-in hazard
while he
operated a Caterpillar Roller Tractor (Model D4C, Series III, Pin

use of the installed restraint device. Among other methods, one feasible

method to correct the hazard is to mandate and continuously enforce onsite
