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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

NYSLL Article 2, Section 27-a.3.a(1):  The employer did not furnish to
each of its employees,
employment and a place of employment which was free from recognized
hazards that are causing
or were likely to cause death or serious physical harm to its employees
and which will provide
reasonable and adequate protection to the lives, safety or health of its
employees.  In applying
this paragraph, fundamental distinctions between private and public
employment have been
recognized.
Location: Onondaga County Sheriff's Office
Various Criminal Investigation Division (CID) emergency response vehicles
were observed with
holes in the front and rear floorboards, exposing officers to potential
cuts and lacerations from
jagged rusted metal, potential exposure to vehicle exhaust gases, and
potential exposure to struck
by hazards from roadway debris penetrating the passenger compartment.
Some vehicles had
holes above a catalytic converter, exposing officers to fire hazards
resulting
from carpeting or
rubber contacting the catalytic converter. (Example of two random vehicles
examined by the
inspector: #3961 and #3975)
Among other methods, some reasonable and adequate methods to correct this
hazard include but
are not limited to: examining all emergency response vehicles to identify
condition of uni-body
or frame; adequately repairing damaged floorboards; removing vehicles from
service; or
replacing vehicles.
NOTE: Some vehicles had sheet metal from former street signs placed over
the holes in the front
driver side floorboard.  This repair is not considered adequate since it
does not prevent vehicle
exhaust gas from entering the passenger compartment and does not provide a
substantial
restoration of the compromised floorboard.
