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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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:
a) Jobsite, 726 Bell Avenue, Carnegie, PA: On or about March 17, 2011, the
employer did not
ensure that the rapid infeed motor on the Landis Grinder, serial number
783-24, was properly
repaired once it had become unserviceable, exposing workers to the hazard
of having the
grinding wheel drift into the workpiece and exploding/shattering the
wheel. Among other
methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method would be to follow
the precepts of
section 4.2 of the 2010 edition of the American National Standard
Institute B 11.9, Safety
Standard for Grinding Equipment, which states that the user shall be
responsible for identifying
and mitigating sources of hazards associated with the operation and
maintenance
of the grinding
machine. The employer could have abated this hazard by using original
equipment manufacturer
parts/equipment, or similar parts/equipment, which would have eliminated
the drifting of the
grinding wheel, for the repair on this machine.
