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 the hazard of death by falling thirty (30) feet. a) Met Life Building - Two (2) employees were observed hoisting and traveling with two (2) metal pipes on top of the standard railing. The scissors lift was a JLG 33RTS, serial number 0300440P00TP2459,The pipes were twenty one (21) feet long eight (8) inches in diameter and weighing approximately 390 pounds each. The manufacturer prohibits the use of the railing to hoist material but does make an attachment for the purpose.
