Follow-up inspection · Health discipline

On , OSHA opened a follow-up health inspection of STANLEY E. FLAGG & CO, INC. in 1023 W. HIGH STREET, POTTSTOWN, PA 19464 (NAICS 000000). OSHA activity number 102929882.

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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

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.
