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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 serious crushing and falling hazards on the second floor from an
inclined reciprocating conveyor.  A feasible and useful method to correct
the hazards, among other methods is to provide enclosed perimeter guarding
around the entire landing, equip the access way with an electrically and
mechanically interlocked gate to prevent it from being opened until the
platform has reached that level, limiting the travel of the platform on
the second floor and enclosing the floor openings to conform with the size
of the platform.
(a)  Second Floor - Building Area:  The landing for the inclined
reciprocating conveyor was not equipped with adequate perimeter
guarding and electrically and mechanically interlocked gates to
protect employees from the crushing and falling hazards.  Also
the floor opening was wider than the platform exposing employees
to fall hazards when loading or unloading operations were conducted.
