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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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: (a) For employees working in the CNC area and operating the VMC6030 machine center, serial #9112822, where the machine center was not equipped with an operable door interlock device exposing employees to the potential hazard of being struck by objects being expelled from the machine center or being caught in the moving machinery inside the machine center by opening the machine center door during machine cycle. (b) For employees working in the CNC area and operating the VMC4020 machine center, serial #9312379, where the machine center was not equipped with an operable door interlock device exposing employees to the potential hazard of being struck by objects being expelled from the machine center or being caught in the moving machinery inside the machine center by opening the machine center door during machine cycle. (c) For employees working in the CNC area and operating the Bridgeport Discovery 308 machine center, serial #308-231, where the machine center was not equipped with an operable door interlock device exposing employees to the potential hazard of being struck by objects being expelled from the machine center or being caught in the moving machinery inside the machine center by opening the machine center door during machine cycle. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to install a door interlock device on the above CNC lathes and mills as required by ANSI B11.2- 2002 Safety Requirements for Turning Centers and Automatic, Numerically Controlled Turning Machines, paragraphs 6.21 Safeguarding and 6.21.1.2 Automatic Mode which states: 1. Paragraph 6.21: Machines shall be safeguarded wherever practical by fixed or interlocked moveable guards. 2. Paragraph 6.21.1.2: Machine operation shall only be possible when the guards are closed and the safeguarding (protective) devices are active. If it is possible, in this mode, to open an interlocked moveable guard, the hazardous movement shall cease and be inhibited. Abatement Note: Abatement certification is required for this item (see enclosed "Sample Abatement Certification Letter").tion
