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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not
furnish employmnent 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 hazards:
Sheet Metal Receiving: The R & M overhead crane, No. 20, had the following
deficiencies:
1. The maximum rated capacity of the loader spreader/sheet metal grabber
did not match with
the maximum rated capacity for the crane.
2. The hook attachment ring of the spreader was too big for the hook of
the crane, causing
damage to the throat of the hook of the crane.
3. The sizes of the sheave grooves of the load block did not match with
the size of the wire rope
installed, causing damage to the inner face of the grooves and rope.
4. No frequent and periodic inspections done, including daily visual
inspections or routine
maintenance.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct the hazard is
to:
1. Install the crane and sheet metal grabber with matching load ratings.
2. Install the crane and sheet metal grabber with proper fitting hook and
hook attachment.
3. Install the load block with wire rope that properly fits the sheave
grooves.
4. Conduct periodic and frequent inspections, including daily visual
inspections and routine
maintenance.
5. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
6. Follow the Safety Standards for Overhead Hoists (Underhung) Cranes in
ASME/ANSI
