Health Act of North
Carolina:  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 burn hazard.
a)dynamometer rooms, dynamometer exhaust pipes reach temperatures exceeding
500 degrees fahrenheit and were not guaranteed to prevent accidental
contact by

correct
this hazard is to install engineering controls such as guarding where
employees
could accidentally contact the exhaust pipes.
