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 fall hazards while working on the railcars: (a)At the site - employees were exposed to an approximate 13 foot fall hazard while installing bridge plates between rail cars, on or about 2/8/05. (b)At the site - employees were exposed to an approximate 13 foot fall hazard when accessing the "B" deck via the ladders attached to the railcars, on or about 2/8/05.
