OSHA cites aerospace manufacturer
18 August 2010
The United States of America’s Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has alleged 41 serious
violations of workplace safety and health standards at EDAC
Technologies Corp aircraft parts manufacturing plant.
The citation refers to “widespread fire, electrical, mechanical
and other hazards”
The allegations carry proposed fines totalling $130,050. EDAC
was given 15 business days from the receipt of its citations and
proposed penalties to comply, meet with OSHA's area director, or
contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and
Health Review Commission.
Paul Mangiafico, OSHA’s acting area directed stated:
"The size of these proposed fines reflects
the breadth and gravity of conditions identified at this
workplace"
