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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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:
a) Packaging Room - The "U" bolt rope clips attached to the wire rope of
the Yale half ton
electric chain hoist did not have the "U" bolt portion of the clips on the
dead or short end of the
rope.  Employees were exposed to the hazard of being struck by a conveyor
that was suspended
with the use of improperly applied "U" bolt clips.
b) Periodic and regular inspections of the cranes/hoists used throughout
the facility were not
conducted.  Employees were exposed to the hazard of being struck by
material and equipment
that was being lifted by hoists that were used while in need of
maintanance and/or repair.
c) Packaging Room, Line #3 - The hook used with the Yale half ton electric
chain hoist had
wear beyond 15 percent of the normal throat opening.  Employees were
exposed to the hazard
of being struck by the load in the event of hook failure.
d) Packaging Room - The hooks used on the Yale half ton electric chain
hoist of lines #1 and
#3 were welded and placed into service without being load tested before
being placed in service.
Employees were exposed to the hazard of being struck by the load in the
event of hook failure.
e) Packaging Room - The side conveyors adjacent to the cookie regulating
operation of line #1
and line #3 were suspended over employees by Yale half ton electric chain
hoists.  Employees
were exposed to the hazard of being struck by the conveyors in the event
of hoist failure.
Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with the
requirements of
29 CFR 1903.19(d).
Among feasible abatement methods is to comply with the ANSI standards for
Overhead Hoists,
ANSI B30.16 - 1973, and ANSI B30.10 -1987:
1. Attach the "U" bolts of "U" bolt rope clips to the dead or short end of
the rope and remove
wire rope that may have become damaged from improper installation of "U"
bolt.
2. Conduct "frequent" and "periodic" inspections of the hoists.
3. Replace hooks that have wear exceeding 10 percent of original dimension.
4. Discard or test hooks that show defects or have been welded.
5. Avoid carrying loads over people.
