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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 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 hazard of being struck by the load should the overhead
hoist, or bridge
crane system fail:
a)On or about 5/25/00, the following overhead hoists had hook safety
latches
broken or missing, including, but not limited to the following:
1.Bldg. 12, Dept. 571, 1/4 ton Yale overhead hoist over the Ohio milling
machine was not provided with a hook safety latch and on a two ton
Yale overhead hoist, the hook safety latch was broken.
Among other methods, several feasible and acceptable abatement methods to
correct
these hazards are to:
1.Replace safety latches on the hooks.
2.Install safety latches on the hooks.
3.Conduct frequent and periodic inspections of the hoists as referenced in
ANSI
B30.16, 1987 Overhead Hoists.
b)On or about 5/25/00, the following bridge crane structures had no rated
load
capacity markings on them and two bridge rails had been welded together
with unknown rated capacity:
1.Bldg. 12, Dept. 571, 1/4 ton Yale overhead hoist attached to a bridge
rail over the Ohio milling machine had no rated load capacity
markings on it.
2.Bldg. 12, Dept. 571, a bridge rail system with two Yale two ton hoists
had been spliced with no tests performed confirming the load rating
of the system and there were no rated load capacity markings on it.
3.Bldg. 12, Grind to Fit Room, a bridge rail with a one ton CM
Valustar overhead hoist on it had no rated load capacity markings on
it.
Among other methods, several feasible and acceptable abatement methods to
correct
these hazards are to:
1.Test all new, extensively repaired, modified or altered equipment prior
to
initial use by or under the direction of an appointed person and with
awritten report furnished by such person confirming the load rating of the
system.  Reference ANSI B30.11.
2.Mark the rated load on the main structure.
c)On or about 5/25/00, the following below-the-hook lifting devices had no
rated load markings and no initial, frequent or periodic inspections
performed, including, but not limited to:
1.Bldg. 20, Dept. 520, a spreader beam type below-the-hook lifting
device used for lifting bundles had no rated load markings and no
inspections were conducted.
Among other methods, several feasible and acceptable abatement methods to
correct
these hazards are to:
1.Inspect prior to initial use, all new, modified or repaired lifting
devices by a
designated person and perform an operational test to verify compliance.
2.Mark the rated load capacity of the lifting device on the main structure
or
equivalent.
3.Conduct frequent and periodic inspections of the lifting devices for
wear,
deterioration or malfunction as referenced in ASME B30.20.
Abatement certification must be submitted for these items.
