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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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

Nevada Revised Statute 618.375(1): Duties of employers. Every employer
shall furnish
employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized
hazards that are causing
or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his or her
employees.
The employer failed to ensure that employees maintained a secure footing
on the platform of a
scissor lift, as follows:
a)At the Universal Laundry & Linen, LLC workplace, employees were required
to
climb over the guardrails of the basket of a scissor lift in order to
access and
egress the loading chute of a tunnel washer (make: Lavatec). The task is
performed when there is a buildup of linen that jams/clogs the machine. The
distance from the toprail of the scissor lift to the edge of the chute was
measured
to be 1 foot 2 = inches. Employees are exposed to a fall hazard that was
measured to be 10.2 feet to the concrete flooring below the work area, as
a result
of not maintaining a secure footing on the platform of the scissor lift.
References:
1) American National Standards Institute (ANSI): ANSI/SIA A92.6-1990:
Self-Propelled Elevating Work Platforms:
- Paragraph 7.11.1 (Users) Personnel Footing. Personnel shall
maintain a firm footing on the platform floor while working
thereon. Use of planks, ladders, or any other devices on the aerial
platform for achieving additional height or reach shall be
prohibited.
- Paragraph 8.10.1 (Operators) Personnel Footing. Personnel shall
maintain a firm footing on the platform floor while working
thereon. Use of planks, ladders, or any other devices on the
platform for achieving additional height or reach shall be
prohibited.
2) Operating Manual (make: Skyjack, model: SJ III-3219, serial number:
22004291):
Page 12: Safety Precautions: AVOID falling. Stay within the
boundaries of the guardrails.
Page 13: Safety Precautions: DO NOT sit, stand or climb on the
guardrails. It is prohibited.
One feasible and acceptable means of abatement method is to ensure that
employees follow all safety rules on the proper operation of scissor
lifts.r
