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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 amputation hazards:
In the following instances foot controls were not protected to inhibit
accidental actuation
by falling or moving objects, or by someone stepping on them:
a)Production Room A - 1000/3805 Di-acro Press Brake
b)Production Room B - Niagara Press Brake, model B-15-3-4, Serial #43290
One method of feasible abatement is to install a guard over each foot
control.  The
remaining press brakes at the establishment have guards over similar types
of foot
controls.  ANSI B11.3, American National Standard for the Construction,
Care, and Use
of Power Press Brakes is an applicable industry standard that specifies
that foot controls
be protected.
