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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

5(a)(1)

Serious Gravity 10 1 instance 2 exposed
Issued
Aug 17, 2000
Abate by
Sep 13, 2000
Penalty
Initial $1,500 · Current $1,500
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 hazards of crushing injuries:
On or about 7-5-2000,for the one person electric elevator (also known as a
manlift) located
near the grain dump, there was no type of guarding at the bottom elevator
landing area to
prevent an employee from being under the elevator as it descended. The bin
floor elevator
landing and the top floor elevator landing were also inadequately guarded
to prevent an
employee from falling into the evelator shaft when the elevator was not at
that particular
landing area. These conditions exposed the employee(s) to the hazards of
being crushed-by or
struck-by the descending elevator or falling into the elevator shaft.
One method of abatement to correct this hazard is to guard the full height
and
width of the
elevator openings as specified in the American National Standard Safety
Code ANSI A17.1-
1993, Section 110, Rule 110.1.

Abate by
Sep 13, 2000
Penalty
Initial $1,500 · Current $1,500
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 falling out of the passenger
elevator:
On or about 7-5-2000 the one person electric elevator (also known as a
manlift) located near
the grain dump, the passenger car door electric interlock was located
inside of the passenger
car where it could easily be tampered with and actually by-passed to such
a degree that the
elevator could be operated with the  elevator car door in the fully opened
positon which
would expose the passenger(employee) to a severe fall hazard.
One method of abatement to correct this hazardous condition is to relocate
the elelctric car
door interlock so that it is not readily accessible from the inside of the
car as described in the
American National Standard Safety Code ANSI A17.1-1993 Section 111.5.

Deleted Serious Gravity 10 1 instance 2 exposed

Abate by
Sep 13, 2000
Penalty
Initial $1,500
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 an unsafe passenger elevator:
On or about 7-5-2000 for the one person electric elevator (also known as a
manlift) located
near the grain dump, there had not been any type of routine safety
inspections performed by
an inspector who meets the qualification requirements of the ANSI
A17-1-1993 code, in the
past year. This condition exposes employees using the elevator to the
hazard of riding in a
potentially unsafe passenger elevator.
One method of abatement to correct this hazard is to have inspections and
test of the elevator
conducted as described in the American National Standard Safety Code ANSI
A17.1-1993,
Sections 1001 and 1002, Rule 1001.2 and 1002.2.
