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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 50-9-5(A), NMSA 1978 (New Mexico Occupational Health and Safety
Act):  The
employer did not furnish each of his employees employment and a place of
employment
which are free from recognized hazards that were causing or were likely to
cause death or
serious physical harm to his employees.
Employees in the warehouse next to the office are exposed to the hazard of
being
thrown from the forklift and being crushed in a turnover accident while
operating a
powered industrial truck without a serviceable seatbelt. Thus, employees
are working
in an environment that is not free of recognized hazards as required by
ASME/ANSI
B56.1a-1989 and ASME B56.1-1993 Safety Standards for Low Lift and High Lift
Trucks.  One feasible and acceptable abatement method includes but is not
limited to
installation of a serviceable seatbelt.
