The following are recent examples of enforcement cases
from State Plan
states. For more examples of state and federal enforcement cases,
visit OSHA's online enforcement penalties
map.
Michigan OSHA issued
$91,650 in fines to Anderson-Cook, Inc.-LM Gear after inspectors found numerous
workplace safety violations at its Chesterfield facility. MIOSHA inspectors
determined that the company had inadequate machine guarding; inadequate
barriers around robotic machinery; allowed workers to operate overhead cranes
without hardhats; and had an unguarded platform, exposing workers to falls.
Inspectors also issued repeat citations for previously cited hazards that the
company failed to correct.
The Alaska Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued
Trident Seafoods Corporation in Kodiak $134,000 in penalties for exposing
workers to anhydrous ammonia and other workplace hazards. AKOSH inspectors
concluded that the company failed to ensure that system emergency shutdown
procedures were adequate. The inspectors also found fall hazards and a chained
and padlocked exit door that could potentially trap workers during an
evacuation.
