employees in that employees
were exposed to a crushing or struck by hazard:
Vehicle Maintenance Shop - The overhead rail for the 2 ton P&H electric
hoist used to
lift the in-shop made septic tanks did not have the capacity rating marked
on the rail:
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method correct
