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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 Gravity 03 2 instances 3 exposed
Issued
Aug 5, 2003
Abate by
Aug 23, 2003
Penalty
Initial $1,750 · Current $710 Reduced
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 crushing and amputation
hazards caused by the unintentional operation of an unguarded foot pedal
of; A) Chicago Mechanical Press
Brake, No. NR052, located in the brake and shear department; B) Chicago
Dreise & Krug press brake, No.
NR053, located in the brake and shear department.  An unguarded foot pedal
on a press brake could be
activated by falling objects or accidental operator contact.  One feasible
and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is to guard the foot pedal as referenced in ANSI
B11.3-1982, Safety Requirements for
Construction, Care, and Use of Power Press Brakes, by providing a locking
pin or locking lever or installation
of a protective cover over the foot-pedal.

5(a)(1)

Serious Gravity 03 1 instance 8 exposed
Issued
Aug 5, 2003
Abate by
Sep 7, 2003
Penalty
Initial $1,750 · Current $710 Reduced
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 crushing hazards caused by
stair landing sections falling from the monorail transport system.  The
stair landing sections were not properly
suspended with both legs of the pressure gripping hooks engaging the load.
Only one leg of the pressure
gripping hooks supported the load, and should the stair landing section be
bumped by an employee or powered
industrial equipment it would be knocked from the suspension hooks.  When
properly engaged the weight of
the suspended load causes both of the suspension hook legs to be drawn in
tight against the load, distributing
the load between both legs.  One feasible and acceptable abatement method
to correct this hazard is to use
proper suspension/load bearing devices designed to properly engage and
support the stair landing sections.
