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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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

North Carolina General Statue 95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety
and Health Act of North Carolina:  The employer did not furnish to
each of his employees conditions of 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:  Multiple fall
hazards associated with climbing up onto flatbed loads, working on
top of flatbed loads, and climbing down from flatbed loads:
a)McElroy Truck Lines, on Mack Tractor Trailer trucks and
Fontaine trailers - for the McElroy Truck Lines diesel
truck drivers who, as a part of their normal duties and
training, were required to climb up to and work upon
previously loaded materials (up to 13' 6" above ground
level) to spread tarps over the shipping materials.
A reasonable and feasible means of abatement would be to use one of
many types of ladders or portable stairs to access the tops of the
loads.
