Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
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 stuck-by and crushed-by injuries from the special purpose
elevator:
Employees working on the ground level of the elevator were exposed to
struck-by
hazards in that the special purpose elevator car did not have barricades

less, as required by
the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in Safety Code for Elevators
and
