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.

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 fire and building collapse hazards due to an inadequate
Emergency Action Plan:
a)  On or about April 22, 2004, and at times prior, M2P2 dba Heritage Farms
L.L.C. did not ensure that employees were protected from fire and building
collapse hazards.  The company emergency plan does not address all key
issues,
nor were the written parts of the plan implemented at the sites.
Among others, a feasible and acceptable method of abatement to correct
this hazard is:
a)  Evaluate the work places for potential hazards of the area, tailor the
corporate
Emergency Action Plan to fit the sites, train the employees, and implement
the plan.

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 electrical hazards due to improper installation and use of
electrical equipment:
a)  On or about April 22, 2004 and at times prior, M2P2 dba Heritage Farms

in front of the box.
5.  Flexible cords used in lieu of permanent wiring: Charger for
boar bot, washing machines in mechanical rooms, air conditioner

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 fire and collapse hazards due to improper emergency exits:
a)  On or about April, 22, 2004 and at times prior, M2P2 dba Heritage
Farms L.L.C.
did not ensure that employees were protected from fire and collapse
hazards.  The
employees working in the barns were not provided with adequate emergency
exits.
1. At M2P2 dba Heritage Farms L.L.C. only one exit was available for egress
from the barns. All other exits were padlocked from the outside and
secured from
the inside with brackets and 2x4s.
Among others, a feasible and acceptable method of abatement to correct
this hazard is:
a) Instal panic hardware on all exit doors.
