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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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: a potential for an exploding pedestal grinding wheel from
a weakened wheel
due to grinding on the side of the wheel.
a) McDevitt Radiator and Welding Service, 1417 Allegheny Avenue,
Pittsburgh,
PA. Employees (radiator repairmen) were exposed to severe trauma or death
from
the practice of grinding on the side of the pedestal grinder wheel.
Abatement note: A feasible and useful method of abating this hazard, among
others, is to
instruct the employees to not grind on the side of the wheel and the
consequences of side
grinding and an exploding wheel, and to post a sign directly to the rear
and above that alerts the
user to the "DANGER" of side grinding.
