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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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

North Carolina General Statute 95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety and
Health Act of North Carolina:  The
employer did not furnish each of his employees conditions of employment
and a place of employment free
from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or
serious physical harm to employees in
that employees were exposed to:
a)Shop area - employees operating the forklifts for transporting steel
beams from the
storage yard to the manufacturing area were observed not using the
installed seatbelts
when rollover protection was present on the forklifts.
REFERENCE:  ASME B56.1-1993, Part II, Paragraph 5.3.19, Operating Safety
Rules and
Practices, Traveling.
An active operator protection device or system, when provided, shall be
used.
Operator protection in the event of tipover is intended to reduce the risk
of entrapment
of the head and torso between the truck and the ground but may not protect
the
operator against all possible injury (see para. 7.2.2).
NOTE:  Among other methods of abatement, one feasible and acceptable
method to correct
this hazard is to require that all employees wear seatbelts during
forklift operations.
