recognized hazards that
were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to
employees in that employees
were exposed to crushing hazard:
a)  Site location: North parking lot at 325 Franklin Avenue, Nutley, NJ
Employer failed to affix warning labels and signs in appropriate locations
on the container of
