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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Penalty
Initial $2,500
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 Gantry crane hazards:
The alleged violations below have been  grouped  because  they  involve
similar or related hazards that may increase the potential  for  injury
resulting from an accident.
a)  The Gantry crane (#1335) used at the trichlorethylene
degreaser operation in the Furnace Department had a nail
sweep on the southeast wheel that was inadequate as the
bottom of the rail sweep guard was approximately six inches
above the rail.  This sweep design does not prevent an
employee's foot from being run over by the wheel of the
crane, on or about May 7, 1992.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is to equip bridge trucks with rail sweeps which
extend below the top of the rail and project in front of the truck
wheel.

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 fall hazard:
a)  A contractor employee was observed installing control
wiring on the bridge of #1771 underhung crane without any
fall protection system.  Additionally, the contractor was
observed standing on a wall ledge without fall protection.
These  two  unsafe  practices  exposed  the  worker  to  an
approximate  thirteen   foot   fall  hazard,  on  or  about
May 27, 1992.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is to install and utilize an employee fall protec-
tion system such as a body belt/harness system.
