North Carolina General Statute 95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety and
Health Act of North Carolina:  The
employer did not furnish each of his employees conditions of employment
and a place of employment 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:
a)job site- where an employee was observed riding on the outside of the
cab of a Ford F-650
dump truck (licence plate: AC-8098) while standing on the step below the
drivers door and
holding on to the rear-view mirror and the climb assist handle.

inside the truck cab
between stops.
(Reference: F-650 Owner Guide, Seating and Safety Restraints: "WARNING: It
is extremely
dangerous to ride in a cargo area inside or outside the vehicle.  In a
collision, people riding in
these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.  Do not
allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and safety belts.  Be
sure everyone in your
vehicle is in a seat and using a safety belt properly.")
