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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Serious Gravity 01 1 instance 11 exposed
Issued
Jan 10, 2005
Abate by
Jan 10, 2005
Penalty
Initial $1,083 · Current $758 Reduced
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not
furnish to each of his employees a place of employment which was free from
recognized hazards
that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to
employees in that
employees were exposed to the hazard of:
a)  On or about November 17, 2004, the wire rope cable on the air hoist
located on the
DRILL FLOOR (away from the driller) was not properly wound on the drums of
the
hoists and was not in good condition. The cable on both air hoists was
kinked and
permanently deformed, exposing employees to the hazard of the cable
breaking while
under load and/or the cable becoming entangled on the drum.  Among other
methods,
one feasible and acceptable method of abatement is for the employer to
comply with
American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice RP54 Paragraph 3.2.7
states that:
"Care should be taken to avoid kinking a wire rope since a kink can be
cause for removal
of the wire rope or damaged section." or by complying with Paragraph 3.3.3
states that:
"Rope should be kept tightly and evenly wound on the drums."
