General-duty citation text

Title 40.1-51.1.(a); Code of Virginia: 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:
The Employer, Little Tire Company, did not assure compliance with ANSI/ALI
ALOIM- 2000, Section 5.5,
Qualified Inspection Frequency.
"Qualified Inspection Frequency. Inspections by the owner or employer
shall follow the recommendations of the
lift manufacturer as to frequency.  Without regard to the frequency of
inspection specified by the lift
manufacturer, whether it be weekly, monthly, semi-annually, annually, or
on some other basis, the owner or
employer shall ensure that the points presented in 5.6 are inspected by a
qualified lift inspector as a minimum
annual requirement."
Each individual auto lift in the facility was not inspected at least
annually by a Qualified Lift Inspector.
Note: One feasible and acceptable abatement method, among others, to
correct this hazard is to have a qualified
lift inspector inspect each lift in the facility at least annually.
