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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Serious Gravity 10 2 instances 2 exposed
Issued
Apr 30, 1993
Abate by
May 5, 1993
Penalty
Initial $750 · Current $375 Reduced
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)  The hazard of being caught between the elevator floor and
bottom of the elevator pit or falling into the elevator pit due to
the employer not providing complete operational doors or gates or
gates with interlocking devices on the personnel freight elevator
located on the 1st floor of the plant.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is to follow the recommendation of ANSI
A17.1-1971,
Rule 110.1 of Section 110 to install an interlocking gate
or
door barrier on the personnel/freight elevator located in grain
elevator #4.
b)  The freight elevator used by personnel for the 8 floors of
elevator #4 was not being inspected on a yearly basis to
determine the wear on such parts as ropes, bearings, gears and
brakes.  One rope broke on 3-22-93, allowing the elevator to
fall approximately 20 ft.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is to follow the recommendation of ANSI
A17.1-1971,
Rule 1001-1A-2 of Section 1001 to provide an inspection
and
test program, done on a yearly basis, to check the various safety
components of the freight elevator such as the wire ropes, gears,
bearing and brakes as well as the counterweights.
