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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 struck-by hazards:
Maintenance Garage - The safe working practice for repairing pneumatic
tires as
specified by the manufacturer of Hyster lift trucks was not communicated
to and
practiced by all affected employees.   The manufacturer specifies that
pneumatic tires that
are to be serviced  are to be deflated prior to removing them from the
lift truck.  On
10/10/11 a mechanic was struck in the head by a rim  while attempting to
unbolt a two-
piece tire rim assembly.  The tire was not deflated prior to removing it
from the wheel
hub of the lift truck in accordance with the tire manufacturer's
instructions.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this
hazard is to follow the manufacturer's instructions for removing the tire
from the wheel
hub of the lift truck.ng
