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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 an injury from an unintended actuation of a foot pedal, not protected by a guard: (a) West End of Fabrication Shop - Employees operate a pipe bending machine, no model or serial number available, to bend pipe up to and including one and one-half (1 1/2) inch diameter. No means was provided to protect the foot pedal from unintended activation by falling or moving objects or by someone accidently stepping on it, on or about June 22, 1993. (b) East End of Fabrication Shop - Employees operate a combination shear and break press, Model #SB25, to shear and bend one-eighth (1/8) inch sheet metal and no means was provided to protect the foot treadle from unintended activation by falling or moving objects or by someone accidently stepping on it, on or about June 22, 1993. (c) North Wall of Fabrication Shop - Employee observed operating a Buffalo Iron Worker #4652 while punching 13/16 X 1 inch slotted holes in three-eighth (3/8) plate and no means was provided to protect the foot pedal from unintended activation by falling or moving objects or by someone accidently stepping on it, on or about June 22, 1993. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to guard the foot pedals/treadle. OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE 29 CFR 1910.212(a)(1): Machine guarding was not provided to protect operator(s) and other employee(s) created by unintended activation of a foot pedal.

No means was provided to protect the foot pedal from unintended activation by falling or moving objects or by someone accidently stepping on it, on or about June 22, 1993. (b) East End of Fabrication Shop - Employees operate a combination shear and break press, Model #SB25, to shear and bend one-eighth (1/8) inch sheet metal and no means was provided to protect the foot treadle from unintended activation by falling or moving objects or by someone accidently stepping on it, on or about June 22, 1993. (c) North Wall of Fabrication Shop - Employee observed operating a Buffalo Iron Worker #4652 while punching 13/16 X 1 inch slotted holes in three-eighth (3/8) plate and no means was provided to protect the foot pedal from unintended activation by falling or moving objects or by someone accidently stepping on it, on or about June 22, 1993.
