The following is a recent example of an enforcement case
from a State Plan
state. For more examples of state and federal enforcement cases,
visit OSHA's online enforcement penalties
map.
Washington Division of Occupational Safety and Health has
issued $35,000 in fines to Grant County Public Utility District 2 after six
workers suffered serious electrical burns from an arc flash explosion in a
generator room at the Priest Rapids Dam in Beverly. Inspectors issued citations
for five serious safety violations after determining that the incident could
have been prevented if the employer had ensured the use of proper procedures to
prevent a breaker from being closed when other parts of the circuit were still
energized. See the Washington
DOSH news release for more information.
