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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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

NYSLL Article 2, Section 27-a.3.a(1):  The employer did not furnish to
each of its employees,
employment and a place of employment which was free from recognized
hazards that are causing
or were likely to cause death or serious physical harm to its employees
and which will provide
reasonable and adequate protection to the lives, safety or health of its
employees.  In applying
this paragraph, fundamental distinctions between private and public
employment have been
recognized.
Employees were exposed to the hazard of crushing injury or death when
entering/exiting through
the overhead door.  Among other methods, three reasonable and adequate
abatement methods
to correct the hazard are: (1) A constant pressure actuation switch.  This
would always be
operated in sight so that it could be released and manually reversed
before an obstruction was
hit.  (2) Installation of a reversing edge switch.  This would allow an
automatic closing control
out of sight of the door, but would immediately reverse the direction of
the
door upon striking
an obstruction.  A variation to this option would be to use photoelectric
cells that would reverse
the door when an obstruction was encountered by the beam.  (3) A three
button control switch.
If the following conditions are met: a) It is provided with a permanent
placard adjacent to the
switch with the following warning letters at least 1/4" high: - WARNING -
- TO PREVENT
ENTRAPMENT - DO NOT START THE DOOR DOWNWARD UNLESS THE DOORWAY
IS CLEAR  b) The control station and placard are located within sight of
the doorway.  c)
Automatic closing controls are not also installed.  d) Operator must
remain at the control station
and observe the door until the door is fully closed.
a) Goshen Vill Police Dept - The garage door, located at police
headquarters was not equipped
with any safety features and using the door could cause serious physical
harm.
