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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Penalty
Initial $875
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 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 potential failure of the cable yarding guyline
system:
(a)Lookout Road: On August 9, 2005 and at times prior thereto, the logging
swing yarder (a converted Link Belt Crane)  had an inadequate guyline
connection.  The yarder was guyed back to a stump located approximately 30
feet away by a chocker bell.  Yarder's are guyed back to anchorage points
to
prevent uplift and the manufacturer of the chocker bell prohibits this
practice.
Amongst other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard is to connect guyline extensions by either a shackle using a safety
pin
connecting spliced and/or pressed eyes, or poured nubbins and a double-end
hook.
Note: Abatement certification required for this item.
