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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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:
a)  Mixing and Filling Department:  The electrolyte constituents
and the electrolyte itself are toxic.  Employees exposed to
an uncontrolled release of battery electrolyte or its
contituents can suffer serious physical hare or death
causing pulmonary edema, severe upper respiratory tract
irritation, pulmonary paralysis or central nervous system
depression.  Adequate steps were not taken to assure and
prevent electrolyte release, on or about April 6, 1992.
Among others, one feasible and acceptable abaement method
would include:
1.  Compose a written inspection procedure addressing all
vital components of the electrolyte system.  This
includes engineering drawings, schematics, illustrations
and specifications of all parts.  Include data on all
modifications and keep a record of all maintenance
performed.
2.  Implement an effective on-going preventive maintenance
program supported by written documentation and scheduled
"sign-off" certification enumerating the items checked
and any faulty conditions found.
3.  Follow-up by recording corrective measures regarding
any defect found or aberant situations encountered.
4.  Establish and assign individual accountability and
responsibility for the function.
