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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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.3.a(1):  The employer did not furnish
to each of its 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 its employees and
which will provide reasonable and adequate protection to the lives,
safety or health of its employees.  In applying this paragraph,
fundamental distinctions between private and public employment have
been recognized.
a) City of Binghamton 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 Gilbarco
hydraulic vehicle lifts (model numbers and serial numbers were not
available due to age) while servicing vehicles located in the
maintenance garage under City Hall.
NOTE: 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/ALI B 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.
