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 likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that:
a) Blaze Construction, Inc., worksite, Turnpike Toll Station Number 151,

employer did not
ensure that employees were kept out of the swing radius of the hydrualic
excavator, serial

Equipment Manufacturers instructions listed in their "Safety Manual for
Operating and
Maintenance Personnel" (copyright 1992) manual for hydraulic excavators,
which states that
employees should never be allowed to enter the swing pivot area of the
excavator.
In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(c), abatement certification is required
for this violation
(using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET).
