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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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

5(a)(1):  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.
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
crushing and amputation hazards
caused by the unintentional operation of an unguarded foot pedal on the
Verson Press Brake, located on the first
floor.  An unguarded foot pedal on a press brake could be activated by
falling objects or accidental operator
contact.  One feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this
hazard is to guard the foot pedal as
referenced in ANSI B11.3-1982, Safety Requirements for Construction, Care,
and Use of Power Press
Brakes, by providing a locking pin or locking lever or installation of a
protective cover over the foot-pedal.
