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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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: May 9, 1995
Penalty: Initial $525 · Current $263 Reduced

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 in that
employees were exposed to injury due to wire rope failure:
a)  Shop #1 - Employees used a two ton hoist to handle material in the
welding area.
The hoist was reaved with 1/4 inch wire rope and had four parts of line.
The wire
rope was damaged in that kinks were readily apparent and one of the
strands in the
wire rope was broken.  This reduced the strength and integrity of the rope
thus
exposing employees to injury in the event of rope failure.
ABATEMENT NOTE:  One feasible and acceptable method to abate this hazard
is to replace
the wire rope on the hoist.  Also, a procedure should be established to
thoroughly inspect the
running rope of all hoists on a monthly basis.

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 in that
employees were exposed to injury from unintended actuation of the shear:
a)  Detail Shop - No guard was provided over the foot treadle on the
BERTSCH
metal shear.  This exposed employees to injury in the event of unintended
actuation of
the machine.
ABATEMENT NOTE:  One feasible and acceptable method to abate this hazard
is to
provide a cover over that portion of the foot treadle that is not
protected by the work table.
