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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 employmnent 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 delivering low permeable materials to the landfill were exposed
to the hazards of
crushing injury from side by side end dumping:  On or about June 28, 2000,
approximately
one mile from the weigh station, employees were exposed to the hazard of
being crushed by
a truck, parked approximately three feet away, performing side by side
dumping in an area
where only one dump zone had been set up by the site employer.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard
is to survey all locations where employees will be delivering material to
assure adequate
dumping zones are available for the number of trucks arriving daily.
Prohibit all side by
side dumping and set up a way to stop trucks that pull up next to each
other.
Restrict the
delivery of overloaded trucks.  Train all employees in the safe methods of
delivering and
dumping materials at landfills, such as but not limited to, training
provided by Mine Safety
Association.  Assure that all contractors delivering to the landfill have
a safety and health
program which includes safe methods of delivering and dumping material at
landfills.
Document and enforce all steps of the above or of an equivalent program
used to safeguard
employees and delivering drivers.
