Fenced Baller Machine/Top of Stairs of the Scrap Pit - On or about June 23, 2016, the employer required employees to enter a fenced/gated area to pull the slit edges of metal scrap into a winding slot of the scrap baller machine.

The space was not tested for potential atmosphere from the cutting oil associated with coils of steel. 3. The fall hazards at the top of the scrap pit were not properly addressed.
