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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Title 40.1-51.1(a) Code of Virginia:  The employer, Independent Steel,
LLC, 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/ caught between hazards
while operating overhead chain hoists to lift materials between 500-600
lbs.
In the Production area, five overhead chain hoists were supported by the
steel web trusses for the roof of the
building.  The trusses were not marked with the rated load capacity, nor
was there documentation showing that
the trusses were designed for the purpose of supporting overhead chain
hoists and any loads attached to the
hoists, in addition to any additional loads placed on the roof (e.g.,
snow).
One feasible and acceptable method, among others, to correct this hazard
is for the employer to ensure the
supporting structures of overhead hoists are designed to withstand the
loads
and forces imposed by the hoist for
the rated load.  Reference:  ANSI B30.16 - 2012, 16-1.3.2.:
