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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The
employer did not furnish
employment or a place of employment which was free from recognized hazards
that were
causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees.
Employees were exposed
to the hazard of being struck by the drophammer.
At the establishment - Drophammer operator stepped on foot treadle that
was positioned
above  a floor hole causing  the operator's front/treadle foot to be lower
than the
stationary/back foot exposing the employee to the hazard of tripping and
being projected
and struck by the hammer.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard is to
affix a cover to the floor hole or treadle mechanism that prevents the
treadle/front foot
from being lower than the back foot.
