Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The

and move a
granite slab.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard is to
instruct employees so they know how to properly handle and move slabs;
develop clear,
written work rules so workers know where to position themselves during
transitions;
develop work rules so the number of workers needed for the task is clearly
communicated and understood; post reminders near worker areas; ensure
management
involvement and oversight to monitor and audit accordingly.
