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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Penalty
Initial $600 · Current $600
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not
furnish to each of his employees a place of employment which was 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 hazardous material of an unknown substance
leaking from a box
with a hazardous label warning sticker during the process of package
handling at the United
Parcel Service center located at 2600 Booth St., Monroe, LA. The package
was
not properly
routed from the loading belt by a designated responder after management
was aware of the
leaking package and allowed the package to be reintroduced to the loading
belt where the
contents spilled onto the belt and other packages.
a)  Among other methods, one feasable method of abatement is to enforce
the rules and
procedures which are consistant with the Corporate Wide Settlement
Agreement between
United Parcel Service and the United States Department of Labor which
defines United
Parcel Services's responsibility in dealing with emergency response to
damaged packages
that can present exposure conditions to employees.
