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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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
29 CFR 1926.451(g)(1): Each employee on a scaffold more than 10 feet above a lower level were not protected from falling to that lower level: The employer does not protect employees from falling when working on a scaffold more than 10 feet above a lower level. This violation was observed on August 4, 2015, on a scissor lift at the job site where an employee was exposed to an 11 foot fall hazard when welding steel beams to the structure while standing on the top guardrail of a scissor lift without being protected from falling. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps that it is taking to ensure that employees are protected from falling when working from scaffolds more than 10 feet above a lower level.
