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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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) 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 the supporting
structure used to support a 1/2 ton chain hoist used by the maintenance
department for a various
tasks was not inspected and load tested to ensure the structure could
support the load(s) applied
