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.

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 the recognized hazard of being struck by falling portions
of the hoisted load(s)
on overhead hoists.  The employer violated this section of the Act on or
about December 17,
2003, as follows:
a.  Demolding area hoist and the North Shop hoist had a defective latches
on their load
hooks.
b.  The Demolding area hoist and the four other hoist in the shop area
were not inspected
daily to determine malfunction of safety devices.
c.  The hoists "I" beams were not load rated.
These cranes were used to move fiber glass boats that weighed up to 1000
lbs. This
condition exposed employees to struck-by hazards.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this
hazard is to provide a load hook with an operable latch, in accordance
with Paragraph
16-2.1.2.10(d) of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
B30.16-1973,
Overhead Hoists.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this
hazard is to determine the load rating capacity of the overhead structure
on which the
hoist is mounted, in accordance with Paragraph 16-2.1.3.6 of the American
National
Standards Institute (ANSI) B30.16-1973, Overhead Hoists.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this
hazard is to perform frequent inspections (daily) of all safety devices to
determine
malfunctions, in accordance with Paragraph 16-2.2.1.2(b) of the American
National
Standards Institute (ANSI) B30.16-1973, Overhead Hoists.
DISCLAIMERS:
1.  You are not limited to the abatement methods suggested above.
2.  The methods explained are general and may not be effective in all
cases.
3.  The employer is responsible for selecting and carrying out an
appropriate
method.
"Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19(d), the employer must provide documentation
that this
violation has been abated within 10 calendar days after the abatement
date."
