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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Penalty: Initial $3,500 · Current $3,500

General-duty citation text

North Carolina General Statute95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety and
Health Act of North Carolina:  The
employer did not furnish each of his employees conditions of employment
and a place of employment 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 struck by hazard:
a)job site- employees were using a 5/8" wire rope on a hydraulic winch
hoist to disassemble a large
Giant Seattle Wheel ( ferris wheel).  The wire rope was attached to a
thimble and hook and held in
place with an aluminum swage fitting. The swage fitting failed allowing
the sweeps of the Wheel to
swing. The sweeps struck a walk board which was near the axle of the Wheel
causing an employee to
fall from walk board to the pavement 44 feet below and also struck a man
basket on the equipment
throwing the employee from the man basket to the pavement approximately 28
feet below on or about
5/16/11.
Abatement Note:  Among other methods, one feasible abatement method to
correct
this hazard is to
consult the manufacturer of the wire rope cable system and use standard
load charts to determine safe
working limits of all components in the system.  Components can be
selected to insure that the safe
working load is not exceeded.
