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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

5(a)(1)

Other-than-serious Gravity 10 5 instances 8 exposed
Issued
Sep 17, 2007
Abate by
Sep 24, 2007
Penalty
Initial $3,500 · Current $2,500 Reduced
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not
furnish employmnent 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 struck-by hazards due to job made repairs and fabrication
not being tested:
a)  On or about April 18, 2007 and at times prior, Elenburg Exploaration
Inc did not
ensure that employees were protected from struck-by hazards.
1.  A piece of round stock was bent into a hook and used for lifting pipe,
it had
no rating assigned to it.
2.  A tong hanger handle had broken and it was field welded, no record of
welder
certification or weld inspetion was available.  The second tong hanger
handle on
the rig was twisted severely.
3.  Crosby clamps were not properly installed in that the distance and
torque
as
required by the manufacturer was not followed.
4.  Hoist line was not removed from service when it had more than the
allowed
broken wires and bird caging.
One feasible and acceptable method of abatement would be to purchase new
handles and hooks
that meet manufacturers specifications and carry ratings of strength and
use.  Critical repairs and
fabrication of parts that are exposed to extreme loads and torque should
be followed by the parts
and repairs being tested for strength.  Inspections as required by API RP
54 9.6 and replacement
of all parts that do not meet the listed criteria.
Abatement Note:  Abatement certification and documentation is required for
this item (see
enclosed "Sample Abatement-Certification Letter").
