I worked in a fab shop about 18 years ago and we got a visit from OSHA. The inspector made it down the length of one side of one bay, about 20 feet, right where the panel boxes and one of our shears sat. I forget how many violations he found in that short space but thankfully he decided it was lunch time. One thing he did do with the violations he found was let us know what was on his red hot hit list.
After he left every electrical item in the shop, like welders, fans, saws, etc, etc, were all unplugged and tagged "OUT OF SERVICE". All of our small electric and air tools like grinders, etc were all locked either in our personal tool boxes, or inside unfinished truck bodies. By the time he got back from lunch we were all standing around pushing brooms. He went through the rest of the shop pretty much shaking his head in disbelief because there was nothing he could really his us on since anythingnot in use, and tagged "OUT OF SERVICE" can not be written up for any type of violation. If I remember right the only other thing we got hit on besides the items in the first bay, were the stands the bodies got set on in the paint shop. They were all made of heavy channel iron and heavy wall tube bent into a V shape, and obviously way overkill for the weight they were supporting. Unfortunately they weren't tagged with a weight rating so we got hit for that.
