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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

General-duty citation text

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 associated with overloading the Below the Hook
Lifting Device:
a) NAB, 283 Crane, 20 Ton Rated Magnet Beam Assembly - An employee was
using the in-house made magnet beam assembly #8 to lift plates that
weighed in
excess of 20 tons (40,000 pounds).  One plate that had been lifted weighed
46,103 pounds.  Observed 08/22/97.
ABATEMENT NOTE:  Among other methods, one feasible means of abatement would
be to ensure that material weighing in excess of 40,000 pounds not be
lifted by magnet
beam assemblies which are rated for a maximum capacity of 40,000 pounds as
per
ANSI/ASME B30.20-1990 sec 20-4.4.4(b).  Another feasible means would be to
provide
a convenient method to which the operator could change over from the
magnet
beam
assembly to an appropriate capacity lifting device.
NOTE:  ABATEMENT CERTIFICATION REQUIRED.TION
