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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Penalty: Initial $1,750 · Current $875 Reduced

General-duty citation text

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)Old House- Employees are exposed to a potential fall
hazard due to the car dropping approximately 3 inches
when the rider enters the car and a dog leg in the cable
for the manlift.  One feasible means of abatement would
be to repair the hoisting system and replace the cable.
b)Annex- Employees are exposed to a potential fall hazard
due to manlift needing a governor and cage manlift drive
unit.  One feasible means of abatement would be to
implement corrective actions of the items noted on the
Manlift Service Report.
Abatement certification is required for this violation. The
abatement certification sheet is enclosed with the citations.ion

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)Old House- Employees were exposed to a potential struck
by hazard due to the microswitch for the door in the car
and the microswitch on the safety door on the top floor
not functioning.  One feasible means of abatement would
be to fix the inoperable microswitches.
b)Annex- Employees were exposed to a potential struck by
hazard due to the door of the lift not being equipped
with a microswitch.
c)Annex- Employees were exposed to a potential struck by
hazard due to guarding not being provided around the base
of the manlift on the ground floor to protect employees
from the descending lift.  One feasible means of
abatement would be to install guarding around the manlift
on the ground floor.
Abatement certification is required for this violation. The
