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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 Occuaptional 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
falling down the freight elevator hoistway if the hoistway door was
inadvertently opened from the land side:
a) Freight Elevator, Fifth Floor: The hoistway opening at the Fifth
floor landing was not adequately protected, in that, the hoistway
door did not have mechanical/electrical interlocks, and an employee
could inadvertently open the door without the freight elevator car
in the landing zone.
The feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is
to equip the hoistway door interlocks as specified in Rule 111.b of the
American National Safety Code for Elevators, Dumbwaiters, Escalators and
Moving Walks ANSI A17.1.
