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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 required to perform lifting tasks resulting in stresses that had caused, were causing, or were likely to cause musculoskeletal injuries: a) # 1 Iron Foundry: Employees (mold dumpers) engaged in the manual lifting and dumping of molds weighing approxi- mately, 80 pounds were exposed to an increased risk of musculoskeletal injuries, on or about 4/10/91. b) #1 Iron Foundry: Employees (molders) engaged in the manual lifting of the cope and drag sections of molds (weigh- ing approximately 40 pounds) from the molding machine to a side table and then manually lifting the complete mold (weighting approximately 80 pounds) from the side table to the conveyor was exposed to an increased risk of musculo- skeletal injuries, on or about 4/10/91. c) #36 Brass Foundry: Employees (molders) engaged in the manual lifting of the cope and drag sections of molds (weigh- ing approximately 40 pounds) from the molding machine to a side table and then manually lifting the complete mold (weighing approximately 80 pounds) from the side table to the conveyor was exposed to an increased risk of musculo- skeletal injuries, on or abut 4/10/91. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is the implementation of an ergonomics managment program consisting of the followin four elements: (1) Worksite analysis to recognize and identify existing manual lifting hazards in the workplace. This analysis should include development and use of an ergonomic checklist and employee questionnaire. Periodic surveys of the worksite shall be conducted at least annually to evaluate work practices and engineering controls. Employee participation in the ergonomic program shold be encouraged through a mechanism such as a safety committee. (2) Medical management which includes accurate recordkeeping of manual lifting injuries. The program should address recognition, evaluation, treatment, and referral of lifting cases. Systematic worksite review by the medical team should also be included in the program. (3) Training and education for exposed employees, including methods to evaluate the effectiveness of the training. Re-training should be done annually, or as operations change. Training should address hazards associated with the job, the risks of manual material handling, and how to prevent lifting injuries. A supervisors' training program should also be implemented to allow recognition of manual lifting hazards, and to reinforce the employer's ergonomic program. (4) Hazard prevention and control which includes engineering, work practices and administrative controls. (a) Administrative controls are implemented which reduce the duration, frequency, and severity of exposure to manual lifting hazards. These controls may include job rotation, reduction of repetitions, multiple person lifts, and pre- ventative maintenance of related equipment. (b) Work practice controls are implemented which include proper work techniques, new employee conditioning, proper placement of loads, and reduction of weight lifted. (c) Engineering controls are designed by a qualified ergonomist and may include work station redesign, tool and handle redesign, and use of mechanical lifting aids. The goal of this program should be to make the job fit the person. Examples of engineering controls applicable to this workplace include: i) Eleminate the 80 pound lift by extending the side mold table to the roller conveyor. The side table should be hinged or otherwise moveable to provide for immediate egress in case of an emergency (instance c) ii) Angle and extend the front end of the dump bin to the conveyor to enable the ;modls to be gravity fed into the shaker (instance a). iii) Utilize two (2) hooks to be manually attached to the molds and aide in transferring the molds from the conveyor to the dump bin (instance a). iv) Eliminate the 80 pound lift by extending the side mold table to the conveyor. A bumper guide at the paint where the table and conveyor meet would enable the mold to be automatically picked up by the conveyor system (instance b). Step - 1 - Implementation of an ergonomics program for worksite analysis, medical management, and training and education, as detailed in items 1-3, above. Step 2 - Submit to the Area Director a written, detailed plan of abatement outlining a schedule for the implementation of the administrative, work practice and engineering controls as detailed in items 4(a) - 4(c). ALL PROPOSED CONTROL MEASURES SHALL BE APPROVED FOR EACH PARTICULAR USE BY A PERSON TRAINED IN THE EVALUATION OF WORKPLACE CONDITIONS WHICH CAUSE MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS. SIXTY (60) DAY PROGRESS REPORTS ARE REQUIRED DURING THE ABATEMENT PERIOD. Step 3 - Implementation of administrative, work practices and engineer- ing controls as described in items 4(a) - 4(c), above.
