How Credible is Coca-Cola? Posted by Anonymous, phxnews
Coke’s overall record on safety, as monitored by OSHA, is both less than admirable and worse than many of its competitors (such as Pepsi). In an article headlined “OSHA Cites Coke for 222 Violations,” the Atlanta Business Chronicle (4/14/03) provided details. For example, in 2002 “The Coca-Cola Co. and its network of bottlers were cited for 222 violations of federal OSHA standards and fined $156,831. In 2001, OSHA cited Coke and its bottlers for 212 violations and fined them a total of $170,091. Over the past decade, the companies have been cited for 2,264 violations.” In February 2003, OSHA identified 14,200 U.S. facilities (workplaces) that had accident and illness rates at twice the national average of about three illnesses or injuries for every 100 workers. Ninety-six of these workplaces were owned by Coke bottlers.
