Section 6(a) of the Puerto Rico Occupational Safety and Health Act: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to: Seccion 6(a) de la Ley de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo de Puerto Rico: El patrono no proveyo empleo y un sitio de empleo libre de riesgos reconocidos que esten causando o que puedan causar muerte o dano fisico a los empleados, por cuanto empleados estaban expuestos a: At Department of Education, Superintendent Office of Barceloneta, Componente Fiscal Office, Special Education Office, place of employment was not free from recognized hazards. Employees were working during the inspection in different office duties. Employees were observed overcrowded in proportion with available workspace. In the Componente Fiscal office in the second floor works five employees in a limited space with their desks, computers and other equipment and office supplies. Due to the limited space and that they don't have a storeroom they are storing the materials and office supplies around and under their desks. In the Special Education Office in the first floor works three employees in a limited space that includes a file area. All the area is disorganized due to the space problem. The employees are exposed to trips, slips and collision between them and prevent the rapid access in case of a fire or other emergency. One feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard among others could be expand the work space area organizing all the materials and supplies in the area or in a storeroom, moving the employees to more work space area.
