daily inspection of his
machine, as follows:
a.At the Desert Torah Academy construction site, employees were exposed to
hazards while working in the area of a backhoe loader that had a muffled
backup
alarm. The alarm no longer had a detectable audible sound due to the
muffling
effects caused by duct tape that had been placed over it. The alarm was
not being
inspected properly due to the employer's lack of inspections that are
required to
be performed on a daily basis by the backhoe loader manufacturer.
