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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 working on or around a portable diesel generator which was not grounded, exposing them to possible electric shock hazard: a) Heitsman #4HNW/Rig #15/Dimock, PA: Caterpillar, 480 volt diesel generator (ER230K07/XQ400), was not grounded, exposing employees to possible electric shock hazards as they fueled this generator during each work shift, on or about 08/07/09. Among others, one feasible and acceptable method to abate this hazard is to follow American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice for Occupational Safety for Oil and Gas Well Drilling and Servicing Operations #54, Third Edition, August 1999, Page #17, Section #9 Drilling and Well Servicing Rig Equipment, 9.14.11 which states: "Electric motors, generators, and control panels shall be grounded."
