OSHA hit this company hard! It's almost hard to believe that one company could perform this poorly. Admittedly, it involves 4 plants in 3 states, but WOW!
According to OSHA's Region 4 office, one plant in Alabama received 20 citations ($94,400); another plant in Alabama received 59 citations ($260,900); a plant in Georgia received 49 citations ($142,350); and a plant in Mississippi received 14 violations ($79,100). Some citations were willful and some were serious.
Citations were for caught ins, struck bys, falls, lack of training, electrical hazards, noise, and there was even an other-than-serious for recordkeeping violations.
If you don't think OSHA is "back in the enforcement business" as stated by Jordan Barab in San Antonio, think again. 142 citations! It seems that a half-million in fines can't be enough. It's almost hard to believe that any company could be that bad without trying to be bad. Either that or they really pissed someone off.

One of the effective ways to avoid such citation is by giving the workers the right safety training programs such as the osha 30 and osha 10 training courses.
