DuPont Niagara Falls Plant Cited With OSHA Violation SOURCE PACE International Union
The U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) cited the E.I. DuPont de Nemours Co., Inc. (NYSE: DD) for failing to record an on-site injury of an employee at its Niagara Falls facility. The effected employee suffered work-related injuries last November after inhaling chlorine gas. The employee needed immediate medical treatment and missed a month on the job.
The company was cited for its failure to list the event on its federal OSHA 300 record-keeping log. The penalty comes on the heels of a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruling against the company for refusing to provide the local union with information regarding the location of hazardous chemicals that had caused spills, accidents, air emissions and ground and surface water discharges. DuPont also refused to allow health and safety inspectors of the plant employees' union -- the Paper, Allied-Industrial, Chemical and Energy Workers (PACE) International Union -- to enter the plant in 2002.------------------------------------------- posted 6:33 AM :: reference link ::
