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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 1926.502(d)(16)(iii): Personal fall arrest systems, when stopping a fall, were not rigged such that an employee could not free fall more than 6 feet nor contact any lower level: a) Leitner-Poma of America Inc., 1599C Summit County Road, Base of Peak 10-Falcon Super Chair, Breckenridge, CO 80424: On or before July 20, 2017, the employer did not ensure that personal fall arrest systems, when stopping a fall, were rigged to prevent employees from free falling more than 6 feet, nor from contacting a lower level.

The employees' personal fall arrest system included a shock absorbing lanyard that did not prevent employees from contacting the ground below. This condition resulted in exposure to fall hazards of 12'9". Abatement note: The use of a retractable lanyard, instead of a shock absorbing lanyard, can serve as effective abatement method to prevent employees from striking the lower elevation.
