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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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

NYSLL Article 2, Section 27-a.3a(1):  The employer did not furnish to each
of it's
employees, employment and a place of employment which was free from
recognized hazards
that are causing or were likely to cause death or serious physical harm to
it's employees and
which will provide reasonable and adequate protection to the lives, safety
or health of it's
employees.  In applying this paragraph, fundamental distinctions between
private and public
employment have been recognized.
a)Elmira CSD bus garage employees were exposed to the hazard of being
caught under
vehicles or the lift structure, or being struck by a falling vehicle, in
the event of hydraulic
failure of the vehicle lift in bay #1, Rotary, Model #710 MLS; Bay #2,
Weaver, Model
#EC102 while servicing vehicles located in the Elmira CSD bus garage.
Among other methods, one reasonable and adequate abatement method to
correct this hazard
is to equip the lift with a mechanical device to hold the lift in all
extended positions as
recommended by the American National Standards Institute and the
Automobile Lift Institute
in the industry consensus standard ANSI/ALIB 153.1 "Safety Requirements
for the
Construction, Care and Use of Automobile Lifts".  The device should have a
strength factor
of not less than three (3), based on the rated load capacity of the
lift.ity
