devices such as backup alarms, windshield wipers, access steps, horns, and
safety bars on the
industrial vehicles such as skid steers and front end loaders were
malfunctioning or broken
exposing operators to struck-by hazards:

43351; On
or about July 20, 2009, the employer did not ensure the GEHL skid steer

materials and finished feed department was equipped with a functioning
safety bar and
the front tire on the equipment was worn to the point where the tire's
cords were
showing.

or about July 20, 2009, the employer did not ensure the CASE 430 skid
