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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 crushing/amputation hazard from unintended activation:
a)   Sheet Metal Shop - Employees use a Cincinnati 75 ton press
brake to bend metal.
The foot pedal was not guarded to prevent accidental actuation by
falling or moving
objects or by someone accidentally depressing it, on or about
December 16, 1993.
b)   Sheet Metal Shop - Employees use a Cincinnati 90 ton press
brake to bend metal.
The foot pedal was not guarded to prevent accidental actuation by
falling or moving
objects or by someone accidentally depressing it, on or about
December 16, 1993.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct
this hazard is
to construct a barrier guard over the top of the pedal.
