Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer does not furnish employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees are exposed to struck by and/or crushing hazards: On or about December 9, 2010, and at times prior thereto, employees were working in close proximity to a concrete grain silo that was structurally unsound. Among other methods, feasible and acceptable means of abatement would be to implement the recommendations of the professional engineers who inspected the silos: 1. Construct a liner on the interior of the silo; 2. Construct a liner on the exterior of the silo; 3. Demolish the silo and construct a new silo.ruct
