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 a struck by and crushing hazard:
a) On or about January 14, 2005, Sevenson Environmental Services Inc.
permitted an
employee to leave the Komatsu PC220LC excavator operator's cab while the

One feasible and acceptable abatement method, among others, to correct
this hazard includes
never leaving the operator's cab with the engine running and follow the
Construction

Operation & Maintenance Manual.
In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required

this
violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET),
and in addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete
must be
included with your certification. This documentation may include, but is
not limited to,
evidence of the purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video
