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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 1910.178(p)(1):Powered industrial truck(s) found to be in need of repair, defective, or in any way unsafe had not been taken out of service until restored to safe operating condition(s) (a) On or about August 4th, 2023, at the US Postal Service, Catano Post Office, Barbosa Avenue, for a manual pallet tilter, brand Dayton, capacity 2200 pounds, Model 33W285, CSHOs observed a pin on the handle secured by clear tape. In case the pin falls, this would cause for the lever on the handle to get loose and causing malfunctioning of the equipment and causing a struck-by hazard for the employees. The repair and securing of this pin with clear tape is not an acceptable way to correct this discrepancy. Note: Certification and documentation of abatement must be submitted for this citation item as required by 29 CFR 1903.19(c) and (d), respectively.
