Expert Witness Response E-000458
OSHA regulations under article 1910 state that items stored in the workplace must be secured properly. I would like to see the full records, as the circumstances of the situation do make a difference in this case. I am a highly qualified expert, and I am capable of reviewing the case at hand. I have numerous publications relevant to these topics. Also, I have considerable professional and academic experiences in the fields of ergonomics and engineering, making me capable of commenting on the potential for negligence on the part of the store in this case.
