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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

General-duty citation text

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:
On or about November 12, 2003 employees were exposed to crushing injures
from an air
powered chain hoist being used to lift loads greater than its rated
capacity.  The air powered
chain hoist located in the store managers office was being used to lift 55
gallon drums of "BD-
20" and "Windshield Washer Premix".  The weight of these drums, which is
greater than 460
pounds, exceeds the 300 pound capacity of the air powered chain hoist.  In
accordance with
American Society of Mechanical Engineers ASME B30.16-2003, para. 16-3.2.1,
"The hoist shall
not be loaded in excess of its rated load except for test purposes as
provided in para. 16.2.2.2
or for planned engineered lifts as provided in para. 16-3.2.2."
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard is to replace
the current hoist with one of sufficient capacity to lift the 55 gallon
drums safely.
