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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 $210 · Current $210
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:
...the hazard of death due to crushing injuries in that the
Caterpillar Scraper 623B had no brakes ans was stopped by dropping the
pan, and the Caterpillar Compactor 816B had back brakes but no front
brakes due to a broken brake line. Both vehicles were used on the
landfill on a slope at Macon County Landfill Inc., Decatur, Il.
One feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is
to repair the brakes of both vehicles and to ensure that general
maintenance checks said brakes on a regular basis.
