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.

5(a)(1)

Serious Gravity 05 1 instance 3 exposed
Issued
Dec 17, 2010
Abate by
Feb 1, 2011
Penalty
Initial $750 · Current $450 Reduced
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 was free from
recognized hazards
which were likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in
that, employees
were exposed to injuries:
a)  On or about September 15, 2010, and at times prior, employees were
exposed to injuries
because the employer allowed them to use a hand elevator (hoistway) near

bins which was not regularly inspected by a qualified elevator inspector.
ASME A17.1-2007 requires periodic inspections (recommended every 6 months)
of hand
elevators per section 8.11.2.1.

certified by an
organization accredited by ASME makes periodic inspections of the hand
elevator.
