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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

(3)A deflagration isolation or suppression system was not provided between the inlet (dirty air) side of the air-material separator (cyclone) and the facility itself. (4)A means of static charge dissipation, such as bonding or grounding, was not provided between the air-material separator (cyclone) and pieces of equipment which were connected by flexible non-metallic duct work on machinery such as, but not limited to, the Ritter horizontal sanders, Woodmaster Tool molder, and Powermatic shaper. (b)Country Builders Furniture, LLC in Spencer, WI: The following deficiencies were found with the 'new' mechanical shaker bag house dust collector located at South side of the facility: (1)A means of tramp metal protection was not provided to keep any unwanted metal fragments from entering the air-material separator (bag house).
