OSHA cites Cranesville Block Co. for chemical & electrical hazards at Kingston, NY, plant. Fines $45K.
Employee complaints prompted an OSHA inspection of this plant. Some were repeat citations. Two other facilities had been cited in 2009.
Employee relations can affect safety and compliance and vice versa. Safety should be a team effort. Most companies we do electrical safety training in are wanting to do the right thing but not overdo. Tough to balance those goals. We find companies audit have much better compliance than those who do not do so.
