Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: UNAPEQUIP
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 point of operation hazards in a hydraulic press: a) Automotive Department - Employees operated a two-hand control actuated hydraulic press in order to manufacture part #2010-0063-00.

The certification shall include a statement that abatement is complete, date and method of abatement, and states employees and their representatives were informed of this abatement.
