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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 02 2 instances 6 exposed
Issued
Feb 7, 1995
Abate by
Feb 25, 1995
Penalty
Initial $1,500 · Current $1,125 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 being struck by shifting ice.
(a)Icehouse:  During break-in and normal ice handling procedures,
employees using
poles, picks, and other tools to move the ice were exposed to the hazard
of being
struck by shifting ice or being caught between the compacted ice and/or
the walls
of the unit.
While ultimate responsibility for correcting the hazards rests with the
employer given his
superior knowledge of the operation, feasible and acceptable methods of
abatement include
but are not limited to:
a)Develop work practices for the "Icehouse Break-In" that eliminate the
necessity
of the employees having to access the top level of the ice by placing
themselves
between the compacted ice and the walls of the icehouse.
b)Install a harness/retrieval system inside the icehouse for employees
working on
the top level of the ice that will restrict the distance that an employee
can fall.
c)Install an ice rake or other automated system to deliver the ice to the
augers.
