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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 being struck by a steel turnover bar. One feasible method
to correct this hazard
is to insure that turnover bars are spring loaded which does not allow it
to be inadvertently left
in the flywheel.

TURNOVER BARS USED DURING SETUP OPERATIONS WERE NOT OF THE SPRING
LOADED TYPE WHICH WOULD PROHIBIT THEM FROM BEING INADVERTENTLY
LEFT IN THE FLYWHEEL AT THE TIME THE MACHINES ARE STARTED UP.RTED
