What this inspection record means

OSHA opens inspections for many reasons: routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

General-duty citation text

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 fall hazards:
a.   Williams Simmons Company - Grove TMS 760 Hydraulic Crane,
Serial Number 68339, personnel platform connected to the
hook being used as prohibited in Section 15.3.2.3, ANSI
B30.15, Mobile Hydraulic Cranes; to assist in stabilizing
the personnel platform during "Bungee Jumping" activities,

A feasible and useful means of correction would be to prohibit
the use of a crane suspended platform when conducting bungee
jumping operations.
