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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

North Carolina General Statute 95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety and
Health
Act of North
Carolina:  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 employees were exposed to struck-by hazards due
improperly selected
rigging equipment:
a)veneer manufacturing, the 5/16-inch grade 43 welded chain used in the
job-made
slings was not approved for use in overhead lifting applications.
b)veneer manufacturing, the job-made pear shaped rings manufactured from
rebar
were not proof tested and approved for lifting applications.
c)veneer manufacturing, the log grab hooks used in the job-made slings had
handles
welded to them and were used for overhead lifting.  No proof testing was
conducted following modifications to the hooks.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to abate this
hazard
is to:
1.Purchase and utilize alloy steel grade chain slings for all overhead
lifting
operations.
2.If job-made slings are to be used, ensure the chain, rings, attachments
and other
components are approved for overhead lifting operations.  Prior to placing
job-
made slings into service have the slings proof tested and maintain the
certification
in accordance with good engineering practices.
