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.

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 hydraulic cylinders
exceeding 20 lbs falling from
a conveyor which crossed over an employee walkway:
a)Assembly area, adjacent to paint spray booth - On or about 11/17/99, the
employer did
not provide a guard to prevent employees from being exposed to injury as a
result of
being struck by falling hydraulic cylinders from a conveyor used to carry
the parts
through the paint spray booth.  The conveyor crossed over an employee
walkway.  Parts
can fall from the conveyor as a result of hooks used to hang parts,
weighing
approximately 20 to 30 lbs, becoming bent.  Where overhead conveyors are
used and if
material may fall off the conveyor and endanger personnel, spill guards,
pan guards, or
equivalent shall be provided in accordance with paragraph 5.9.2 American
Society of
Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Publication B20.1-1993.
Among other methods, several feasible and acceptable abatement methods to
correct these
hazards include: (1) Relocation of the walkway which passes under the
conveyor to eliminate
employee exposure to falling hydraulic cylinders; (2)  Place a guard or
other equivalent means
under the conveyor to prevent falling hydraulic cylinders contacting
employees on the walkway
beneath the conveyor.
