KRS 338.031(1)(a): Every employer did not furnish to his employees
employment and a
place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that are
causing or are likely
to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees in that:
a.  P.D. Automation failed to adequately protect three(3) employees from
engulfment from clay when entering and working in a clay hopper on

among others, to correct this hazard is to achieve a zero mechanical

hazard through the removal of the engulfing material.
