DETROIT — The U.S. Labor Department said Thursday that investigators found 19 safety and health violations at a General Motors joint venture electric vehicle battery plant in Ohio during a two-week period this year.
The department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has proposed fining Ultium Cells LLC $270,091 for the alleged violations at a recently opened factory in Warren, Ohio. The Labor Department said inspectors found that Ultium Cells didn't comply with federal safety standards for use of personal protective equipment including respirators. They also found that the company didn't install guards on machines or train workers in procedures to control hazardous energy, and it failed to provide eye wash stations, emergency showers and hand protection, among other violations.
Authorities began investigating the plant after an explosion and fire in March. It did four inspections between April 24 and May 5, the statement said. The agency says Ultium Cells has 15 business days from the date it received the citations to comply, request an informal conference or contest the findings with an independent commission.TORONTO — On a brisk, drizzly day in April, a thief strolled into Air Canada's glass-walled warehouse at Pearson airport, presented a phoney document and walked out with some $23 million in gold and cash.
