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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 struck by hazard on March 21, 2005, on Cato Road, where
three trucks and
trailers loaded with logging equipment were parked southbound in the
northbound lane of the
road which had no warning signs or flaggers to safely move traffic through
the area.  Among
other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to abate this hazard is
to install signs,
warning devices, and flaggers when traffic must be moved through a work
area as specified in
Part VI of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and
highways,
(Millennium Edition).
