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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 1910.145(f)(5): Danger tags were not used where an immediate hazard presented a threat of death or serious injury to employees:  On or about January 18, 2018 employees operated a "Powersplit" log splitter that had been previously marked with labels warning of operational dangers.
