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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

29 CFR 1910.178(p)(1): Powered industrial truck with defect(s) or in any way unsafe had not been withdrawn from service until restored to safe operating condition(s):         a) United States Postal Service, DBA USPS @ 5800 Phantom Drive, Hazelwood, MO 63042: On and before February 12, 2015, the employer did not ensure that the Toyota Tugger, numbered M071, was available for service following an employee injury. The tugger was equipped with a modified ergonomic mat that was fashioned from a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt measured approximately 17.5 inches wide while the standing platform for the tugger measured approximately 16.5 inches wide. The difference in width between the modified ergonomic mat and the standing platform caused the modified ergonomic mat to curl up in the back and thereby, created a tripping hazard.
