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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 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 a 40 foot fall:
a)  On or about August 9, 2002, at approximately two employees were at the
edge of a roof
approximately 40 feet up from a dock platform pulling up a mule in
preparation for cleaning the
building's windows.  As they were pulling up the second mule, one of the
employees fell and
landed on the dock ramp after striking the ramp handrail.  The roof
parapet was 29 inches high
and the employer did not ensure that fall protection was used.
Among other methods, a feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard would be to
ensure and enforce a fall protection policy as written in ANSI IWCA
I-14.1-2001, including a
personal fall arrest system and/or fall restraint system.
