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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish a place of employment which was free from recognized hazards that were likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees. The Leffel boiler had no records of maintenance and repairs performed. On or about 10/31/97 and 11/3/97, the boiler safety relief valve relieved steam in the boiler room. The blowdown of the water column had not been performed for two operating days. Feasible and acceptable abatement would include the following: 1) Develop a written maintenance and operation program for the boiler. This would include: a) Record of all blowdowns of the water column. b) Tests of safety apparatus including relief valves. c) Record of all irregular events and repairs in operation of the boiler. 2) Train boiler maintenance employees in this program.
