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 falling load due to the failure of the hook:
a)Production Room:  The hook of the Dayton 2 ton chain hoist
was equipped with a defective safety latch, on or about

hazard is to equip
the hoist with an operable safety latch as described in ANSI B30.16-1993,

hook and retain, under
slack conditions, such items as, but not limited to, slings and chains.
