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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Penalty
Initial $375 · Current $275 Reduced
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 hazards associated with falling due to improper
counterweights improperly placed on the inboard end of outriggers
suspending a swing stage scaffold from a roof.  The actual weight
of the material had not been determined, the material was
flowable and not positively affixed to the outriggers to prevent
movement.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement
method to correct this hazard is to provide and use counter
weights which are made to fit the outriggers and are of a known
and marked weight and positively attaching the sufficient amount
of weights to the outriggers.  The responsible employee shall
be trained in the requirements of the system and how to determine
the required amount of weight for the load to assure at least
a 4 to 1 safety factor for the swing stage.
