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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

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
following:
(a)   Employees were allowed by the employer to operate
borrowed, specialized all-terrain vehicle(s)
without requiring and assuring that the employees
read the operator's manual.  On or about February
13, 1993, an employee was fatallly injured while
operating a 1986 Honda ATC 200X three wheeler.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is to provide employees access to the Honda Owner's
Manufal in order to become familiar with the hazards and safety
instructions.  Another method would be to follow the guidelines on
allterrain
vehicles set forth by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
