recognized hazards
that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to
employees:

Condition:Employees were working in a culvert 7 feet to 10 feet in
diameter, 2,388
feet long on a day when flash flooding conditions were predicted.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is

that employees are
removed from the culvert and adjacent work areas when physical hazards
such as flash floods
could occur.
