In the following instances employees were exposed to puncture, laceration,
and
impalement hazards:
a)Hull 500, Engine Room 1, 1st plat, port side, frame 215 - 4, 3/4"
threaded studs
protruded 4" above the walking/working surface.
b)Hull 478 - At numerous locations throughout the hull insulation pins
protruded
into the work space.
c)Hull 478, State Room, 2 Tack, 338, 4L - 10, 1/2" threaded studs extended
6"
above the walking/working  surface.
d)Hull 478, 01-338-3-Q - 4, 1" angle iron was protruding 17.5".

Unprotected metal studs from floor.
i)Blast Building #3, Unit 313, Birthing Level (3rd), Port side (3/24/05) -
Unprotected angle iron (ladder supports) from floor.
j)Assembly Building in front of large east double doors - The studs,
approximately
4" high x 11/16" squared top, used to install wiring trays on the ceiling
were
inadequately guarded.

walkway, approximately 4" x 11/66" with squared top, used for cable tray
mounting brackets on the ceiling were not protected.
Among other methods one feasible and acceptable method of abatement is to
install
covers over the protrusions, which will reduce the likelihood of puncture
wounds to the
head, body and limbs.
