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.

Penalty
Initial $2,500 · Current $1,050 Reduced
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 being struck by corrugated sheet metal roofing panels that
were damaged during
a storm in July of 2006:
a)In peril of collapse of the roof, employees of American Pallet-Midwest,
LLC
perform numerous tasks within the manufacturing building of the
establishment,
such as but not limited to, different fork truck operations and the
assembling and
dissembling of pallets.  Employees are exposed to overhead hazards of the
falling
ceiling, while performing designated tasks within the manufacturing
building of
the establishment.  The ceiling is made of corrugated sheet metal and some
of the
sheets have fallen and been removed but there are still some sheets that
are
hanging dangerously over the heads of the employees while they perform
assigned
tasks.  The ceiling has been damaged since July 19, 2006.
Among other feasible methods of abatement would be to:
1.Move all operations and employees that are underneath or
within close proximity of the damaged ceiling away from
the hazardous area until roof repairs are completed.
2.Reinspect the structure to determine compliance in
accordance to the International Conference of Building
Officials: Uniform Building Code - 1997 Section 3402-
Maintenance.
