Common violations

It's mostly paperwork and making sure all the safety stuff is in order. We do inspections on the regular and get good training, which keeps us out of trouble.
 
Great point. Staying current with documentation and ensuring regular training can really make a world of difference in keeping operations both smooth and compliant.
 
we used to have a poor housekeeping, such as trash, debris, or spills that create hazards. now, we've made sure to
keep the environment clean. we regularly clean up combustible materials and keep the workplace free of trash and debris to prevent housekeeping and combustible material citations
 
What are the most common MSHA citations you've encountered, and what steps do you take to avoid them?
I often see people fail to guard moving parts, such as bolt heads, keyways, and couplers. this isn't good, and people should make sure all moving machine parts are boxed in or guarded to prevent contact
