General-duty citation text

North Carolina General Statute 95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety
and Health Act of North Carolina:  The employer did not furnish
each of his employees conditions of employment and a place of
employment free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely
to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that
employees were exposed to:
1)Employer Carolina Vegetables failed to furnish to each
employee a temporary labor camp free from recognized
hazards in that electrical light fixtures, and electrical
outlet in camp # 2 on Vera Cruz Rd., had live exposed wiring
with no cover plates.  Additionally Camp # 1 on Lake Artesia
Rd., had electrical light fixture, fuse box, and electrical
conduit with live exposed wiring in the utility room.  Finally
in the kitchen of camp # 1 gas stoves had no handles which
exposed workers to possible gas fumes and vapors due to
inability to ensure gas supply was properly cut off.  The
hazard exists that workers in the temporary labor camp will
contact electricity, resulting in serious physical harm or
death to migrant farm workers living in the temporary labor
camp site.
Among others one appropriate and feasible method of
abatement is to reattach all electrical fixtures to walls,
repair outlets and install cover plates, repair electrical
conduit, and supply blank spacers in fuse box, and install
handles on gas stoves to ensure workers can properly shut off
gas supply.y
