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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

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 falling over 6
feet or more from a
job made personnel platform and being struck by moving parts of the mast
of the forklift while
being elevated to perform work.
Warehouse and production areas:  Employees changing light bulbs while
elevated on a
personnel platform were not protected from falling by standard guardrails
or the platform
securely attached to the powered industrial truck.  Employees while being
elevated to
change lightbulbs were not protected from the moving parts of the mast of
the forklift.
The job made personnel lift was secured to the forks of the powered
industrial truck
using a chain; however, the chain was not securely attached to the lift to
prevent
movement of the platform.  The guardrails on the personnel lift do not
meet the
requirements for a standard railing, due to the lack of a midrail.  The
personnel inside
the lift were not protected from falling by the use of a proper guardrail
system or
personal fall arrest system.  Fork Lift M# CMP15L, S# CMP158L14066851KF.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method of abatement is:
1. Follow the safety procedures in ANSI B56.1-1993.
2. Provide a standard personnel lift equipped with the required safety
features.
3. Verify the load capacity and suitability with the forklift used.
4. Install standard railings in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.23.
5. Require employees to wear safety harnesses and lanyards while working
from the elevated
platform.
6. Modify the personnel platform to ensure employees are protected from
the moving parts of
the mast of the forklift.
Abatement certification is required for this violation. The abatement
certification sheet is
enclosed with the citations.
