hazard of being struck-by and/or crushed-by loads at the worksite known as
Pines
Trailer, Division of Great Dane Limited Partnership, 1925 Harbor Front

Greenville, MS 38701, where below-the-hook lifting devices, i.e., lifting
beams/spreader
bars used to pick up bundles of rails, side walls, finished trailer for
bogie placement and
edge clamps used to pick up floors, did not have the rated load marked on
the lifters, nor
was a nameplate or other permanent marking displaying the manufacturer's
name, serial
number, lifter weight, and rated load affixed to the lifters.  (Reference
ANSI/ASME
