employees in that employees
were exposed to traffic hazards in the roadway which resulted in the death
of one employee and
the injury of a second employee:

surveying work in the southbound lane of Airport Blvd. at 2nd Avenue in
Aurora, Colorado.

Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
