recognized hazards that
were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to
employees in that employees
were exposed to fall hazards due to the use of boom-supported elevating
work platforms with
several operating deficiencies:
(a)Jobsite, 21 Century Drive, Ambridge, PA:  On or before 4-18-05

boom-supported aerial platform, a JLG Lift, to gain access to the roof.
The lift had several
deficiencies which included, but not limited to; no markings or warnings,
illegible controls,
broken gauges, no operation and maintenance manual.
Among other means, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct
this hazard is to
