recognized hazards
which may cause death or serious physical harm to his employees and comply
with this
regulation and other occupational safety and health rules and regulations
promulgated under
Chapter 15 of Title 41, Code of Laws, State of South Carolina, 1976, as

A.  Employer knew or should have known that employees being lifted to roof
of building
with unprotected edge, in excess of 35 feet high, by a Moffit Brand
material boom mounted
