An inspection uncovered 51 safety violations, including 48 willful ones. A judge Tuesday upheld the majority of those penalties, totaling $1.3 million.Department of Labor Regional Solicitor Tremelle Howard said the case is a “stark reminder to all employers that the U.S. Department of Labor will exhaust all available resources and actions to hold them accountable when they fail to meet federal requirements to protect the safety and health of their employees.
Investigators found that, in the 15 minutes prior to Elsea’s fatal injury, workers entered cells to troubleshoot machinery, with supervisors watching, without following lockout/tagout, no less than five times.
