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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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:
(a)Employee(s) using an elevated work platform to check the inventory in
the upper storage
racks of the warehouse were exposed to a fall hazard of approximately 15
feet due to no
personal fall protection equipment being provided for the employee inside
the elevated
work platform.  The elevated work platform was hoisted from ground level
by a forklift.
(b)Employee(s) using an elevated work platform to check the inventory in
the upper storage
racks in the warehouse were exposed to fall hazard of approximately 15
feet due to a
broken clasp on the chain used to secure the elevated platform to the
forklift.  The
broken clasp does not provide an effective means to prevent the elevated
platform from
falling off the forks of a forklift, when hoisted from ground level.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard is to provide
personal fall protection equipment for the employee(s) inside the elevated
work platform and a
safety chain to secure the work platform without defects as prescribed in
section 4.17.2 of ANSI
B56.1-2009, Safety Standard for Low Lift and High Lift Trucks.
29 CFR 1903.19(d)(1) requires certification and documentation that the
abatement of the
above violation is completed.
