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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

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 the hazard of a falling load:
On the mezzanine area of the 3000 line, employee(s) are required to untie
the strings on
the bags of ADM/Ogilve starch, weighing 1180 kilograms, while it is
suspended in the
air by a Demag chain hoist.  While the strings are untied, the
employee(s) arm's are
between the bags of starch and the stainless steel hopper and are
subjected to this
crushing hazard in the event of a hoist failure or a failure in the
webbing of the bag.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this
hazard is to construct and install a guarded area between the bags of
starch and the
hopper.  This guarded area shall be strong enough to withstand the full
weight
of the load
in the event of a hoist failure or a failure in the webbing of the bags.
