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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not furnish employmnent
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:
At this facility:  The employer manages approximately 10 (ten) forklifts
of various design and sizes.  These lifts
are used in the mill and outside the mill, on rough and slippery terrain
and during all seasons of the year and in
inclement weather conditions.  The areas in which the lift operate are
inclined with little to no flat or even
surfaces.  The employer has failed to require the use of seatbelts on
these lifts in spite of the fact they are
provided by the manufacturer.  Recognition of the hazard of forklift tip
over and the need for operators to use
an operator restraint system is evidenced by certain requirements in the
more current version of ANSI B56.1-2000 - Safety Standard for Low Lift and
High Lift Trucks.d
