This practice of failing to furnish employment and a place of employment which is free from recognized hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees was most recently observed on or about March 1, 2007 at the site located in Cumming, Ga., and led to employees being exposed to struck by and or crushing hazards when operating the Linde battery powered forklift - Model No. E16-0236V; Serial No. H2X 324N0163816 without the seatbelt. To abate these violations Koch Foods of Cumming must ensure that a seatbelt is installed and used by employees during the operation of the forklift.
