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 an employee was
exposed to a falling hazard by the lack
of a restraining means when  riding on a work platform attached to the
forks of a Caterpillar vehicle.  Among
other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct the
hazard is to provide some type of
restraining means (railings) to prevent falling from the platform.
