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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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
Nevada Revised Statute 618.375(1): Duties of employers. Every employer shall furnish employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his or her employees: At the Thunderdome Theme Park at the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino, the employer did not ensure that employees were protected from the recognized struck-by hazard presented by a moving amusement ride. An employee was painting the control booth of the Thunderbirds ride (made by: A. ZAMPERLA, ride name: MINI JET 8 RED BARON FISSA, serial number: MJO8FO75US94, ride speed: 6.5 miles per hour, revolutions per minute: 7.4) while the ride was in motion. While painting, the employee was approximately 2 to 3 feet from the ride, exposing him to possible serious injuries in the event he was struck by the ride's moving parts. One feasible and acceptable means of abatement is to train employees on the hazards associated with entering the ride area, while the ride is in operation.
