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.

General-duty citation text

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.   SALT CITY COGENERATION PROJECT:  Boiler House, coal
handling area, 5th. floor; employees were exposed to
the hazard of being caught in the coal conveyor belt
system when started due to the fact that the coal
transfer area is not visible from the operators start
up position.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abate-
ment method to correct this hazard is to install an
audible and/or visual warning device to alert employees
that the conveyor is about to start.  The warning device
shall be actuated by the controller device starting the
conveyor and shall continue for a required period of time
before the conveyor starts as referenced in ANSI B-20.1-
1990, section 5.11.2 (b)(1) - Control Stations.
