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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Initial $640 · Current $125 Reduced
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:
a) Inadvertent activation of the cement mixer while an employee is
inside cleaning it.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is to estabish and enforce an adequate plant lockout
procedure such as that stiuplated by ANSI Z244.1-1982, Sections 4 and 5,
American National Standard of Minimum Safety Requirements for Lockout/
Tagout of Energy Sources for Personnel Protection. Essential elements of
the lockout procedure would include:
1) Open and lock out the mixer control switch;
2) Provide each potentially exposed employee with a separate lock and
key to place on the lockout means;
3) Establish a written lockout policy, including procedures to be
followed and training for any affected employees and others in the
area:
4) Periodically evaluate the program and strictly enforce all of its
provisions.
