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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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
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 crushing injury from unstable natural stone slabs during slab transport operations: a) Employees in the natural stone storage yard were exposed to crushing hazards during slab transport operations. During these transport operations employees were required to tilt up slabs, some weighing approximately 700 pounds, that were stored at a slight angle to the vertical balancing position. The employees were then required to lift the slabs onto a small rolling cart (dolly) and support the slab by hand while it was "walked" into the shop. Employees conducted much of this slab handling while in the danger zone and were subject to crushing injury if the slab fell. Among other methods, some feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct this hazard are as follows: a) Institute and enforce a procedure in which employees are prohibited from standing in the danger zone of unstable and/or hand-supported stone slabs. When lifting the slab from the storage position to the vertical position employees should only handle the slabs at the extreme ends so they would not be struck by the slab if it fell. Also, while placing the slab on the cart and while rolling the slab into the shop employees should only support the slab by the ends. b) A suitable forklift equipped with slab tongs would greatly facilitate this process. If this method of slab transport is used the slabs should be secured (e.g., a web belt circling all slabs on the storage rack). The belt could then be loosened just enough to hand-raise the slab to the vertical position but not enough to allow the slab to fall. When the slab tongs are in place and the slab is supported by the forklift the belt could be removed entirely and the slab transported into the shop. Abatement Note: Abatement certification and documentation are required for this item (See enclosed "Sample Abatement-Certification Letter").-Certification
