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 the hazard of being struck by projectiles from a moulding machine, while attempting to extract a piece of lumber by feeding another piece behind it. Among others, one feasible means of abatement for this hazard is to ensure that the piece of lumber being used to push the finished piece through the moulding machine, is equal in dimension to the piece being milled.
