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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

operators seat and being
crushed by the industrial lift truck.

fatal injuries when their upper
body parts were struck/crushed by the forklift truck's overhead protection
device as they were
thrown out of the operator seat. On or about 03/12/02.
Other feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct this hazard are:
