Section 5(a)(1) of Public Law 91-596, the Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970: The
employer did not furnish a place of employment which was free from
recognized hazards that
were causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to
employees; in that an
employee was permitted to ride on the step above the tracks of a JOHN
DEERE, Model 270LC,
Hydraulic Excavator, exposing the employee to the hazard of being struck
by, crushed by, or
thrown off the hydraulic excavator:
(a) White Drain Project:  On 25 July 2002,  the foreman, who was the
operator,
allowed a person to stand and ride on the superstructure- step of the
excavator
thus exposing the person to the hazard of being struck by and/or crushed
by a
hydraulic excavator. The person was riding on the step above the tracks of
a
JOHN DEERE, Model 450C LC, PIN:  FF540CXR09112, a hydraulic excavator,
while the excavator was digging an excavation and moving.
Among others, one feasible and useful abatement method to correct this
