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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 struck by and crushing hazards. a) The employer was using a drill rig to lift a 5 1/2 ton casing without knowing the lifting capacity of the drill rig when operated as a lifting device. b) The drill rig was not used in accordance with manufacturer's instructions in that the drill rig was lifting materials which were not tools of the drill rig. Job site: On August 3, 1998, a CMV TH18-65 model drill rig tipped while hoisting a 5 1/2 ton casing, which exposed employees to crushing and struck by hazards. One feasible means of abatement, among others, would be to use a service crane when lifting equipment and materials not integral to the drill rig. "ABATEMENT DOCUMENTATION IS REQUIRED FOR THIS ITEM".
