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.

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 of having part of their body caught between
the moving elevator
and the hoistway.  A feasible and useful method to correct this hazard,
among other methods,
is the installation of car doors or gates that are electrically
interlocked
to prevent the elevator
car from moving unless the elevator car doors or gates are in the closed
position:
a) EXISTING MATERIAL HANDLING ELEVATOR LIFT -- HAZARD OF EMPLOYEE(S)
COMING IN CONTACT WITH MOVEMENT OF THE LIFT AS IT MOVED FROM THE
BASEMENT (MILL ROOM) TO SECOND LEVEL (NEAR BREAKROOM), IN THAT
