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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 88.4 - Code of Iowa (2001)
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 the hazards of multiple
operators operating
machines with only one operator having control:
(a)North Building, Manufacturing Area, Hendley & Whittemore Steel Roller
Machine - On 10/16/01 three employees were performing work while
operating a 12 foot steel roller machine (#14550).  There were three
employees operating the machine performing production operations.  Two of
those employees were working on the operating side (in-feed position) while
the other employee was on the discharge side (out-feed position/stacker).
Only
one operator had control of the machine although the production being run
required multiple operators in the danger zone.  Among other methods, one
feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct the hazard is to
provide
controls for all operators working in the danger zone as referenced in ANSI
B11.1, 1971, Safety Requirements for the  Construction, Care, and Use of
Mechanical Power Presses, Sections 5.3.3, 5.3.4 and 5.3.5, and 29 CFR
1910.217(c)(3)(vii)(a).      y   y   J      p\
