The employer did not furnish to each of his employees employment and a
place of employment
which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or were likely
to cause death or
serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to:
On or about 02/03/12, at 451 Lincoln  Road Miami Beach FL, an employee was

rough terrain forklift
limitations and operate the truck in a safe manner as not to cause injury
to personnel.
