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 moving passenger cars on amusement park rides: Revere Beach, MA, Fiesta Shows, Skymaster Ride: Employees were exposed to moving passenger carriages on the Skymaster Ride which were likely to cause serious physical harm or death to employees. Among other methods, feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct this hazard include issuing and enforcing an order that no employee may enter the fenced area surrounding the Skymaster Ride while the ride is moving. An additional abatement method would be for the employer to initiate a training program designed to instruct employees about the dangers encountered working in close proximity to moving equipment.
