The employer did not furnish to each of his employees employment and a

which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or were likely
to cause death or
serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to:
On or about 09/19/01, employees were exposed to the hazard of being run
over as the Travelift
mobile boat hoist (model #150AMO) was being operated in the vicinity of
employees without
proper personnel-deflecting guards around the leading edges of front and
rear wheels.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method is to
install personnel-
deflecting guards around the leading edges of front and rear wheels.
Deflecting guards should
extend and be designed in such a manner to push persons out of the way of
an oncoming vehicle
and not capable of running them over.
