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 hazards associated with working in a confined space:

Street, Chicago, Illinois -
employees were performing carpentry work from a platform (jobmade wooden
box) on the forks
of a rough terrain forklift truck. The operator did not remain in the cab
to operate the controls,
while employees were elevated in the platform. The platform in which the
employees were
working was not equipped with controls.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means to correct these
hazards are to use a
safer alternate method such as: Follow the American National Standard
