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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

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 the rated load of underhung cranes was not marked on the crane, exposing employees to struck/crush-by hazards: a) Advantage Powder Coating, Inc. - Defiance, Ohio: On or about January 24, 2011, the employer did not assure the grinding department north side underhung crane, used to lift and suspend parts, was labeled with the load capacity. A load test was not conducted and/or load test documentation was not available to determine the load capacity of the "in-house" fabricated underhung crane system. b) Advantage Powder Coating, Inc. - Defiance, Ohio: On or about January 21, 2011, the employer did not assure the grinding department south side underhung crane, used to lift and suspend parts, was labeled with the load capacity. A load test was not conducted and/or load test documentation was not available to determine the load capacity of the "in-house" fabricated underhung crane system. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means of abatement is to follow the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B30.11-2010: Monorails and Underhung Cranes as applicable.

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 crushing hazards due to below-the-hook lifting devices not being marked with rated capacities: a) Advantage Powder Coating, Inc. - Defiance, Ohio: On or about January 21, 2011, employees were exposed to struck/crush-by hazards in that the employer did not mark the "c-hook" below- the-hook lifting device with the device's rated capacity.
