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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Serious Gravity 06 2 instances 2 exposed
Issued
Nov 6, 1990
Abate by
Mar 1, 1991
Penalty
Initial $300 · Current $150 Reduced
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
fractures and multiple contusions from falling loads:
A) Shop and Yard Area: Employees use lifting bars/devices to lift
precast concrete castings and forms weighing approximately
approximately 300-14,000 pounds. The tube spreader bar, angle
lifting bar, 96" seepage ring bar, and the bar lifting capacity,
on or about September 25, 1990.
B) Plant #2 and #3: Employees use carbon chain slings to lift material
weighing approximately 300-6000 pounds. The chain slings are not
being used in accordance with the safe usage recommendations of the
device manufacturer, on or about September 25, 1990.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard is to:
1) Implement a below-the-hook lifting device safety program as described
in ANSI B30.20-1985. This program should include at a minimum:
A) Marking, construction and installation
B) Inspection, testing and maintenance, and:
C) Operation requirments for structural/mechanical and remotely operated
lifting devices, etc. (Instance A)
2) Replace the carbon steel chain slings with alloy type slings. A
safety program complying with the requirments of 1910.184(e) for
alloy stel chain slings should be implemented.
