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 a struck by hazard: At this inspection site, employees working at the Blowout Preventer/cellar area were using a three-inch diaphragm pump with a three-eighths-inch rubber hose containing compressed air and did not install keeper pins/wire in the ears of the crowfoot connection to prevent them from unintentional parting. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard would be to require that keeper pins/wire be installed in each ear of the crowfoot connection prior to use per the manufacturer's recommendations.
