'Wall-to-Wall' Inspections of Mill Result in 70 Violations, $212,000 in Fines
www.ohsonline.com OSHA has cited Ansonia Copper and Brass Inc. for 70 alleged serious, repeat, and other violations of workplace safety and health standards at the company's Waterbury, Conn., tube mill. The company faces a total of $212,000 in proposed fines following what the agency called "wall-to-wall" inspections of the plant begun in February. "The sizable fines proposed here reflect the breadth of hazards found during our inspections and the fact that the company had been cited for similar conditions in the past," said Robert Kowalski, OSHA's area director in Bridgeport, Conn. "Left uncorrected, these conditions expose employees to hazards such as lacerations, amputation, crushing, falls, fire, electrocution, asphyxiation, burns and struck-by injuries. These hazards must be addressed promptly, effectively, and continuously."
