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 fire and building collapse hazards due to an inadequate Emergency Action Plan: a) On or about April 22, 2004, and at times prior, M2P2 dba Heritage Farms L.L.C. did not ensure that employees were protected from fire and building collapse hazards. The company emergency plan does not address all key issues, nor were the written parts of the plan implemented at the sites. Among others, a feasible and acceptable method of abatement to correct this hazard is: a) Evaluate the work places for potential hazards of the area, tailor the corporate Emergency Action Plan to fit the sites, train the employees, and implement the plan.
