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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Abate by

Penalty
Initial $1,225 · Current $600 Reduced
Section 88.4 - Code of Iowa (1999)
88.4 - The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment
which was free
from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or
serious physical harm to
employees in that employees were exposed to hazards of the work piece not
being properly
clamped causing incorrect control manipulation:
(a)Assembly Area - On 10/31/00, an employee was drilling/tapping existing
holes on
the bottom of a die shoe.  The blocks holding the work piece (bottom die
shoe)
were not secured to the bed of the drill press allowing the blocks to
shift causing
the work to slide, and possibly fall, resulting in an injury to the
operator as he was
trying to hold the die shoe to prevent it from falling.  Among other
methods, one
feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct the hazard is to
secure all
work in place prior to performing operations as referenced in the Accident
Prevention Manual for Industrial Operations, Engineering and Technology,
Ninth
Edition, Chapter 10 (Drills), pg. 241.
