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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 fall hazards:
a)The employer does not ensure employees are protected from the hazards of
falls by installing adequate fall protection systems for employees engaged
in
the tasks and operations associated with tanker-trailer bulk loading
operations.  This violation was most recently observed on about September
2, 2010, when an employee was exposed to fall hazards when the employee
worked on top of the tanker trailer without adequate fall protection.  The
condition exposed employees to a 13 foot fall.
One feasible and acceptable means of abatement would be to ensure that
employees performing work on top of a tanker trailer are protected from
falls by a personal fall arrest system utilizing anchorages attached to an
overhead structure that extends the entire length of a tanker trailer or by
installing a fixed fall protection system that includes a stairway and an
overhead walkway with appropriate guard rails and toe boards.
Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the
abatement
date of this citation, the employer must submit documentation showing that
it is
in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps that it is
taking to
ensure that employees working on top of tanker trailers are provided with
effective
fall protection.
