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 struck-by and crushed-by hazards: On or about October 3, 2001, an employee at the workplace operating a Bobcat Skid Steer Loader, model 773, serial number 509649179, to load fertilizer was exposed to struck-by and crushed-by hazards. The employee was permitted to exit the operator's seat while the engine was running.
