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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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
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: (a) On or about August 1, 1996, at the Dakota Gasification Company construction site, an employee of Swanson and Youngdale, a subcontractor under the control of Dakota Gasification Company, was exposed to a potential fall hazard while working from an elevated pallet on the extensible boom forklift. The pallet used as a platform was not secured to the lifting carriage or to the forks to prevent it from sliding off the forklift. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard would be to secure the platform to the carriage or forklift.
