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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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:
a.)Employees were exposed, while hydro-blasting the hull of the vessel USS
Stephen
Foster, to the hazard of a high pressure (40,000 psi) water stream.  One
employee was
required to hold a sheet metal shield to guard against overspray while
another employee
power washed the hull.  This was a recognized hazard inasmuch as the
manufacturer of
the waterjet equipment, in its manuals and video, repeatedly warns against
pointing the
nozzle at others, and calls for a minimum separation of twelve feet
between employees.
Abatement: Among other feasible abatement methods, a clamp or other
mechanical
device could have been used to hold the shield in place to guard against
overspray
from
the waterjet operation.
