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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Serious 1 instance 8 exposed
Issued
Sep 19, 2008
Abate by
Sep 29, 2008
40.1-51.1(a) of the Code of Virginia:  The employer, City of Harrisonburg
(Central Garage), did not furnish a
place of employment which was free from recognized hazards that were
likely to cause death or serious physical
harm to employees.
At the automotive and transit shop, employees operate a three ton CM
Lodesar electric hoist to lift 55 gallon
drums of oil.   The load hook was not equipped with a safety latch which
could allow the load to drop and
expose the employees to contusions and/or fractures.
One feasible and acceptable method of abatement to correct this hazard is
to install a latch type hook such as
called for by ANSI B30.16-1987, American National Standard Safety Code for
Hoists.
