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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

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)  Employees were exposed to falling loads and/or falling hoist parts in
that the
jobmade jib hoist was not kept in good repair with the following
deficiencies noted:  (1)
The rated load was not permanently marked on the hoist, (2) Load testing
was not
conducted with a written report to confirm the hoist, (3) There was no
load ratings test
conducted on the beam, (4) The bicycle type chain was broken, (5) The
electric motor
cables were wrapped around equipment because of their length, (6) The
motor controls
were not marked;
(b)  Preparation area, East side;  The 5 ton capacity pendant controlled
grinder hoist was
not kept in good repair in that the following deficiencies were noted:
(1)
Load testing
was not conducted with a written report to confirm the hoist load rating,
(2) The wire
rope was worn, (3) The 7/8 inch sheave was worn and the hook latch broken;
(c)  Preparation area, East side;  5 ton capacity pendant controlled
grinder hoist; Running
ropes and hoist parts were not inspected frequently or periodically nor
were written
reports that repairs were performed and parts replaced.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this
hazard is to develop a preventive maintenance program which incorporates
all
recommendations outlined in the manufacturer's manuals with written,
signed and dated
reports and also in accordance with ANSI B30.16 and ANSI B30.11 in order
to ensure
a safe and proper functioning hoist.oning
