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: The hazards of fire and explosion from approximately September 1-26, 1989 when working in the derrick of Drilling Rig #17 with no safe means of escape, while drilling the well and placing tubing into the Milam #4 gas well located off the west end of Franklin County Road #47, southwest of Ozark, Arkansas. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to install an auxiliary means of escape such as a specially rigged and securely anchored escape line so as to provide a ready and convenient means of escape from the derrickman's working platform.
