Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not
establish employment and a place of employment free from recognized
hazards that were causing
or likely to cause death or serious physical harm in that employee(s) were
exposed to the hazard
of being struck by the overhead garage door:
