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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 employees
were exposed to a fall from the racking system platform while placing and
removing stock:
a) Warehouse area - On or about September 7, 2011, employees were using
Crown and Toyota product picker powered industrial trucks to place and
remove
stock from racking system platforms; employees are climbing onto and
working
from a pallet, at a height of no less than 16 feet above the concrete
floor, without
adequate guardrails or a properly installed fall protection system in
place.
Among other methods one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard would be to:
Ensure that employees are provided with the appropriate protective
equipment
in accordance with
ANSI/INTSDF B56.1-2009, Safety Standard for Low Lift and High Lift Trucks.
Paragraph 4.17.1 of ANSI/INTSDF B56.1-2009 requires that whenever a work
platform is used
to elevate personnel additional requirements from Paragraphs 4.17.2 and
4.17.3 shall be met.
Paragraph 4.17.2(c) requires restraining means such as railings, chains,
cable, body belt(s) with
lanyard(s), or deceleration devices, etc. need to be in place and are
properly used.
Abatement certification and documentation required within 10 days after
abatement date.  The
certification shall include a statement that abatement is complete, the
date and method of
abatement, and state that employees and their representatives were
informed of this abatement.
Abatement documentation shall include documents demonstrating that
abatement is complete,
such as evidence of the purchase or repair of equipment, photographic or
video evidence of
abatement or other written records.
