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 were exposed to being struck by bar stock when loading and unloading the stock into a cradle weigh station with powered industrial trucks.

Where applicable, secure the cradles to the scale to prevent tipping in the event that they are struck by external forces.
