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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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.  The hazard of falling from the cargo elevator
(side loader) or from the hazard of being caught
between the cargo elevator (side loader) and the
intermediate deck opening during its upward
travel from the lower deck.  Employees were
permitted to ride indiscriminately the cargo
elevator (side loader) with or without cargo
from the lower deck to the weather deck of
M/V Irving Timber moored to Pier 16, at
San Juan, PR.  Height of fall from the weather
deck to the lower hold was 36 feet.
Among others, one feasible and acceptable method
to correct this hazard is to provide at least one
accessible ladder in the hold, and to prohibit
the stevedores from the use of the elevator (side
loader) as a means of exit from the hold.
