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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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:
a) Mechanics, who worked under hydraulic lifts in the service department
were exposed to the hazards of being accidentally struck by
automobiles or being caught between automobiles and the floor,
because five hydraulic lifts did not have automatic mechanical safety
devices that would have held the lifts in their fully extended
positions in the event of an accidental hydraulic failure.
A feasible method for correcting this hazard is to install pins or rods
that would automatically engage rails or runways of the lifts and hold
them in their fully extended positions. The pins or rods should be of
a construction such that they would have an adequate safety factor as
specified by the manufacturer of the liff; in accordance with sections
3.1.5 and 3.1.10 of ANSI B 153.1-1974.
