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:
Employees working in the vicinity of the hoists were exposed to the
hazards of falling loads,
hoists, and their components due to the following conditions:
(a)The hoist located at the small paint booth #2 was being operated with
kinks in the wire
rope cable.

One feasible and acceptable method, among others, to correct these hazards

Establishing a preventative maintenance program, which includes conducting
frequent and
periodic inspection by a competent person on all hoists and hoist
components and support
structures with corrective measures taken as needed and as required by
ASME B30.10-1993 and
