State OSHA Issues Record Fine; Employer Repeatedly Inspected

摘要

Maryland Occupational Safety and Health (MOSH) has issued citations and penalties totaling just over $1 million to Allen Family Foods, Inc., a poultry processor. It is the largest penalty ever assessed by the state plan in a single inspection or investigation.rn"This particular employer has been a source of repeated health and safety violations over a number of years," said State Labor Secretary Alexander M. Sanchez. "I applaud the vigilance of our compliance officers and industrial hygienists in this case. We must hold repeat offenders accountable for failing to do all they can to ensure worker safety."
