North Carolina General Statute 95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of North Carolina: The employer did not furnish to each of his employees conditions of employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to fall or struck by hazards: (a) Facility, Steel Fabrication - Two underhung monorail crane systems with one manual hoist each, were not load tested as required. REF: ANSI B30.16-2, Section 16-2.2, Paragraph 16-2.2.2 (a) Han Chain-Operated Hoists (1) New hoists shall be load tested by the manufacturer as specified in para. 16-2.2.1(a)(1) with a test load of not less than 125of the rated load, except that if load testing of the hoist cannot be performed by the manufacturer, the user shall be notified and the load test shall be accomplished at another location or job site, by or under the direction of a designated person prior to the hoist being placed in service. (The user is testing the complete structure wether or not the hoist was tested by the manufacturer). (c) The person conducting the load test shall prepare a written report of the load sustained during the test and the operations performed during the test. Reports shall be placed on file.
