recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious
physical harm to
employees in that employees were exposed to being struck by fragments of
Polyvinyl
Chloride (PVC) plastic pipe in the event that the PVC plastic pipe
ruptured:
a) Shop - PVC plastic piping was used in exposed aboveground locations to
