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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

North Carolina General Statue S95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety and
Health Act of North Carolina:  The employer
did not furnish to each of his employees  conditions of 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:
a)facility, production - where employee(s) were allowed to stand in close
proximity of and reach
underneath of an overhead hoist and its appurtenance that was not load
rated.  Employee(s) used hoists
such as, but not limited to, a Dayton, 300 pound load rated, model #358B,
to hoist loads, i.e.,
ventilation fans and equipment.
One feasible and acceptable abatement method, among others, to correct
this hazard is to load rate the
hoists and appurtenances to ensure that they can withstand the rated load
capacity.
