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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 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 struck by:
Employees using Clevis type hand hoist with a plain trolley on a standard
I beam were not
provided with mechanical stops at the end of each trolley to protect
employees from being
struck by the hoist in the event the hoist were to travel past the I
beam. The clevis type hand
hoist are used at the Precious Metals Building, Smelting Department and
Balloon Flue Pipe
located approximately 20 feet above floor level. One feasible and
acceptable abatement method,
among others, to correct this condition is to install stops at the end of
travel for each clevis type
hoist.
