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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 is free from recognized hazards
that are causing
or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that
employees are exposed
to:
On or about July 25 and at times prior thereto, employees working at the
layout position
at the East Plant of the American Rail Car Industries facility in
Marmaduke, Arkansas
were exposed to electrical shock hazards while manufacturing tanker type
rail cars for
the railway transportation industry. Employees operating the Powermaster
500 welding
machines were not following the requirements of ANSI Z49.1:2005 in the
following
instances.
Instance 1: Employees at the East Plant layout position regularly received
electric shocks
while operating the arc welders and the Koike pipe hole cutter.
Instance 2: Employees who were operating the welding machines had not been
provided
training in the avoidance of electric shock inherent to the arc welding
process. this
practice exposed the employees to the hazard of electric shock.
Instance 3: The employees at the East Plant layout position did not
de-energize the output
of the Powermaster 500 and Deltaweld arc welding machines while changing
the contact
tips. This practice exposed the employees to the hazard of electric shock.
One acceptable and feasible means of abatement would be for the employer
to establish
a policy that requires the employees to follow the safety requirements
outlined in ANSI
Z49.1:2005.
