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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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

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/ A trash compactor had the hopper opening point level with the
container's refuse dumping
floor without having a guard rail and toe board to prevent employees from
falling or slipping
into the charging chamber.
b/ The Dial Corporation had controls for one trash compactor that were not
of a design such that
sustained manual pressure was required to operate the controls, and point
of operation guarding
was not present.
c/ The Dial Corporation had controls for one trash compactor that were not
of a design such that
sustained manual pressure was required to operate the controls, and the
point
of operation
guarding was such that it was not interlocked.  Employees used a pole to
push material into the
charging chamber of the trash compactor.
While ultimate responsibility for correcting the hazards rests with the
employer, given his/her
superior knowledge of the work place, feasible and acceptable methods of
abatement to correct
this hazard, among others are:
1.  To follow the guidelines of ANSI Z245.1-1975 for safety requirements
for refuse
collection and compaction equipment, ANSI Z245.1-1984 for refuse
collecting and
compacting equipment, ANSI Z245.1-1992 for refuse collection safety
requirements,
processing and disposal equipment - mobile refuse collection and
compaction equipment
safety requirements, ANSI A12.1-1973 safety requirements for floor and
wall openings,
railings, and toe boards, and the latest ANSI/NFPA 70-1990 National
Electric
Codes and
all as amended to provide guard rails, toe boards, interlocks and safety
control switches
as required by those nationally recognized safety standards.
ABATEMENT CERTIFICATION AND ABATEMENT DOCUMENTATION IS REQUIRED
FOR THIS VIOLATION.  The documentation should include written verification
of abatement,
applicable measurements or monitoring results, and photographs or videos
which you believe
will be helpful.  The abatement certification sheet is enclosed with the
citation(s).
