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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 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 crushing hazards associated with operating a hoist with a
hook that had a
missing safety latch:
At the site:  The hook on the hoist at Scallop Cooler #3 had a missing
safety latch.
One feasible and acceptable means, among others, of abatement would be to
replace the hook
or install a new safety latch. ANSI B30.16-1973 references the
requirements for frequent
inspections and adjustments and repairs of hooks and safety latches.
