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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

40.1-51.1(a) of the Code of Virginia:  The employer, Virginia Department
of Game & Inland
Fisheries, did not furnish employment and a place of employment which was
free from
recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious
physical harm to
employees in that employees were exposed to fractures and/ or lacerations
from falls that could
occur when they have to work outdoors in the dark, around concrete fish
tanks and spillways.
At the Montebello Fish Hatchery, Montebello, VA., employees are exposed to
falling into/onto
fish holding tanks while feeding and stocking in the dark.  The hatchery
is not equipped with
outdoor lighting of sufficient illumination for employees to see to travel.
One feasible and acceptable abatement method, among others, to correct
this hazard is to equip
the hatchery outside areas with adequate illumination for employees to
work
at night.   A
recognized standard for lighting in the workplace can be found in ANSI/
IES RP-7, 1983.
