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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 a place of employment free from recognized hazards that were
causing or likely to cause
death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed
to injuries and/or
death from falls:
On or about March 29, 2004, an employee was standing on the first highest
rung from
the top and the top back rear rail straddling a 10 foot fiberglass "A"
frame ladder while
installing lighting for a security system.  This did not provide a
suitable and stable
surface on which to stand and work.
Among others, one feasible and acceptable method of abatement is to ensure
that ladder
usage meets the requirements of ANSI Standard A14.5 2000.
