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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 & 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 fall hazards from the second floor level and serious
crushing injuries on the
first floor level.  A feasible and useful method to correct the hazards
among other methods is
to provide mechanically interlocked gates to prevent them from being
opened until the platform
has reached the level:
Establishment:
The hydraulically operated vertically reciprocating conveyor was not
equipped with
mechanically interlocked gates, exposing employees to serious fall hazards
and crushing
injuries.  Also the electrical interlock on the first floor was not
properly adjusted in that
the door was capable of being partially opened.
