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 serious physical harm to

Resources Co. did
not ensure that employees and workers were protected from flash fire and
explosion
hazards.

completely.
The sensors were not connected to a warning alarm or monitor system.
