SCRR 71-112A: Failed to furnish a place of employment which is free of recognized hazards which may cause death or serious physical harm to his employees and comply with this regulation and other occupational safety and health rules and regulations promulgated under Chapter 15 of Title 41, Code of Laws, State of South Carolina, 1976, as amended, as follows: A. Employer knew or should have known that employees moving antennas with wire rope hoist line within 5 feet of 7200 volt energized power line near monopole tower were exposed to the hoist line contacting the line, shocking or burning employees. A feasible and useful method to correct this hazard, among other methods, is to move supply trailer out of the area near the fence so that more clearance from the power line could be obtained.
