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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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

THE ALLEGED VIOLATIONS BELOW (1a, 1b AND 1c) HAVE BEEN GROUPED
BECAUSE THEY INVOLVE SIMILAR OR RELATED HAZARDS THAT MAY INCREASE
THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY AND/OR ILLNESS.
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 an injury from an unintended activation of the foot pedal
which was not
protected by the guard:
(a)  Plywood Department - The employee operating the Nels J.
Billstrom Glue Wheel
was exposed to rotating metal clamps.  No means was provided to
protect the
foot pedal from unintended activation by falling or moving
objects or by someone
accidentally stepping on it, on or about March 12, 1993.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct
this hazard is
to install a foot pedal guard.
OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE
29 CFR 1910.212(a)(1): Machine guarding was not provided to protect
operators and other
employees from hazards created by:
(a)  Plywood Department - The employee operating the News J.
