Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: 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: On or before July 29, 1993, employees were working adjacent to open sided floors 20' high, in the dark, without following an established written safe work procedure based on job hazard analysis and training. Among other methods, a feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct the hazard would be to establish a written program of maintenance which will insure that employees a) Do not work on the floor area to wipe dust from props or change overhead lights using folding step ladders in the Disaster Transport Ride building in the dark. b) Do not work at open side floor areas without guard rails or without using a safety harness and lanyards in the Disaster Transport Ride building. c) Are trained in the recognition of fall hazards and the use of fall protection systems. d) Are following the program and insuring this by periodic program reviews.
