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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

5(a)(1)

Serious Gravity 10 1 instance 11 exposed
Issued
Mar 28, 2011
Abate by
Apr 1, 2011
Penalty
Initial $5,600 · Current $5,000 Reduced
Section 5(a)(1) of Public Law 91-596, 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 allowed to operate mobile equipment
without wearing seat-
belts.
(a)Loading Dock area, East of plant's Northeast corner, and throughout the
LPG-
Tank Storage Yard - On or about Saturday, October 9, 2010, employee(s)
were allowed
to operate rough-terrain forklifts (telehandlers), i.e. Lull Model 6K-37,
Company #2,
transporting heavy loads, while not wearing the provided seat belts.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is
to implement a well-communicated, and well-enforced requirement that all
operators of rough
terrain forklift trucks, equipped with operator restraint systems, must
wear
the seat belts, as
required by Paragraph 6.2.1(a) of American Society of Mechanical Engineers
(ASME) B56.6-
2005 (with addenda) Safety Standard for Rough Terrain Forklift Trucks.

Serious Gravity 05 5 instances 7 exposed
Issued
Mar 28, 2011
Abate by
May 12, 2011
Penalty
Initial $2,975 · Current $1,800 Reduced
Section 5(a)(1) of Public Law 91-596, 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 chain hoists, and their supporting structures, were not
being thoroughly
inspected on a frequent and a periodic basis.
(a)Leg & Lug Welding Area (Spot X-Ray) -  On or about October 20, 2010,
employees were exposed to injury from falling loads due to the employer's
failure to
initiate a program to have competent persons thoroughly inspect all
two-ton overhead
chain hoists, air or electric powered, along with their supporting
structures, for worn
and/or damaged parts: in that the Ingersoll-Rand ARO air-operated two-ton
overhead
chain hoist, at the Leg & Lug Welding Area (Spot X-Ray), being used to
lift LPG
(liquified petroleum gas) tanks and/or components weighing as much as 1800
pounds was
being supported beneath its trolley by a badly worn horizontal pin.  The
employer did
not have an inspection program for chain hoists as required by Sections
16-2.1.2 and 16-
2.1.3 of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) B30.16-2007, Safety
Standard for
Overhead Hoists.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is
to initiate a program of frequent and periodic inspections of all chain
hoists, air and electric, and
their supporting structures, as required by Sections 16-2.1.2 and 16-2.1.3
of American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) B30.16-2007, Safety Standard for Overhead
Hoists, and to replace
any and all worn or damaged components before returning the hoists to
service.
