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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to
employees in that
employees were exposed to the hazard of ammonia exposure due to the unsafe
design and
operation of the refrigeration system pressure relief piping system:
