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.

North Carolina General Statute 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 free from recognized hazards that were causing or
likely to cause death
or serious physical harm to employees, in that employees were exposed to
falling overhead
loads:
a)facility, shop, loading/unloading area - employees were allowed to stand
in close
proximity of and reach underneath hoisted loads, i.e., electric motors, of
overhead hoists and appurtenance that were not load rated.  Employees used
several chain hoist such as but not limited to a CM Valustar 2-tons, Load
Star 2-
tons, Kohnezuc 7.5-tons, and a CM 3-tons chain hoists that were used to
hoist
loads, i.e., electric motors, to perform loading and unloading activities.
One feasible and acceptable abatement method, among others, to correct this
hazard is to load rate the hoists and appurtenances to ensure that they can
withstand the rated load capacity.
