Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: 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 serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to struck by hazards while addressing a chemical spill in the roadway. On May 8, 2007, employer did not ensure that the employees who were working in the roadway to contain and clean-up a spill of Guardsman Max and 28Nitrogen mix were protected from vehicular traffic.
