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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 to each of his employees a place of employment which was 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: On or about November 15, 2011, employees were required to use a wire rope for Geronimo line that was kinked in two locations. This condition exposed employees to a fall hazard. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazardous condition would be to ensure that the wire rope used as an escape line is removed from service when evidence of kinking, crushing, cutting, cold working, or bird-caging is observed, in accordance with the American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice for Occupational Safety for Oil and Gas Well Drilling and Servicing Operations (API 54 9.6.3).ons
