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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 employees were
exposed to fall hazards:
At the jobsite located approximately 1.5 miles south of Dresden, KS on
Highway 123:
Employees engaged in material clearing activities at the recycle hopper
were exposed to fall
hazards of approximately 18 feet to the ground below in that the bucket of
a Caterpillar 980G
Wheel Loader was used as a work platform without fall protection.
AMONG OTHER METHODS, ONE FEASIBLE AND ACCEPTABLE METHOD TO
CORRECT THIS HAZARD IS: Use an engineered man lift and applicable fall
protection in
order to access the hopper.  The Caterpillar 980G Wheel Loader operating
manual states, "To
prevent injury, make sure that no one is working on the machine or near
the machine."  The
Safety section of the operating manual states, "Do not allow unauthorized
personnel on the
equipment."
29 CFR 1903.19(c)(2) abatement of the above violation was verified at the
time of
inspection.  No certification is required.tion
