several holes, the
walls were covered only half way (aproximately 3 feet) thereby allowing
the water to
come into the guardhouse when it rained, this condition kept the floor wet
for extended
periods. The employees did not have raincoats available for their use and
had to stay in
the guardhouse when it rained. The employees (police) entered and exited
the guard
house as part of its guarding functions.
Hazard: Falls.
Among other corection methods, fixing the guard house to protect it from
the rain or
providing employees with rain coats or providing alteranative locations
for the employee
to be protected from the rain are feasible and acceptable.
