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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 $1,875 · Current $1,000 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:
the hazard of being struck by a falling beam, which is being held in
position for touch up
painting by the stacker machine when the power to the machine is
interrupted.
On or about July 8, 1998, the nitrogen accumulators for the stacker
machine located in building
150 of department 70 was not being maintained in a charged condition, thus
allowing a beam
to fall when the power was interrupted.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard is to develop
and implement a preventative maintenance program, including but not
limited to, maintaining
the pressure in the nitrogen accumulators as well as maintaining other
integral
components of
the machine(s).
