OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): 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 performing construction work, during elevated heat conditions, were exposed to excessive heat:         a) 149 Kent Ave. Brooklyn, NY 11249: On or about July 7, 2015 employees were exposed to excessive ambient heat from environmental sources. During the performance of their duties, this included laying down hollow core concrete planks on the top floor of the building undergoing construction. The heat index for the day ranged between 99 and 105°F. Such exposures may lead to the development of serious heat related illness such as heat stress and heat stroke. On July 7, 2015 a worker who worked outdoors for the entire shift collapsed and died shortly thereafter. The employer had not developed or implemented a heat stress program.
