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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The
employer did not
furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment that
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 struck by hazards:
(a)Silanes Department - Exployees were exposed to hazards that existed when
Stokes vacuum pumps were modified by replacing the oil fill plug with a
hard-
piped oil fill line and the manufacturer-installed sight glass with a more
durable glass, thus defeating the overall capability of the pump to relieve
internal pressure in a safe manner in the event of an overpressurization.
