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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Serious 1 instance 16 exposed
Issued
May 13, 2002
Abate by
Jul 17, 2002
N.J.S.A.  34:6A-33(a):  The employer did not provide the employees with a
place of employment which was free from
recognized hazards.
LOC:  Garage, Overhead Garage Door
There existed a hazard of crushing injury/death when entering/exiting
through the overhead garage door.
Comment:  Some methods 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.
