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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

5(a)(1)

Serious 1 instance 12 exposed
Issued
May 13, 2002
Abate by
Jul 1, 2002
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: Hazard of
crushing injury/death when entering/ exiting
through the powered overhead doors.
LOC: Garage, Powered Overhead Doors
Employees were exposed to ahazard of crushing injury/death when entering/
exiting through
theoverheaddoors.
COMMENT:Amongmethods of abatement would include (as set forth in ANSI
standard A156.8) and the
following: 1. A constant pressure actuation switch. This would always be
operated in sight of the door so that
it could be released and manually reversed if an obstruction was hit. 2.
Installation of a reversing edge switch.
This would allow an automatic closing control out of sight of the door,
but would immediately reverse the
direction of the door upon striking an obstruction. A variation to this
option
would be the use of photoelectric
cells that would reverse the door when an obstruction was encountered by
the beam. OR 3. A three-button
control switch. If the following conditions are also met: (a) It is
provided with a permanent placard adjacent to
the switch with the following warning letters at least 1/4" high: WARNING
TO PREVENT ENTRAPMENT
DO NOT START DOOR DOWNWARD UNLESS DOORWAY IS CLEAR (b) The control station
and
placard are located within sight of the doorway. (c) Automatic closing
controls are not also installed. (d)
Operator must remain at the control station and observe the door until the
door is fully closed.
