New MexiCann has 15 days to contact NMED or pay the fine.
This is the second time the dispensary has been issued citations. In 2016, the Environment Department cited the company for a 2015 explosion that also injured two workers, and fined the company $13,500.
“The indifference shown to worker safety by this company is inexcusable,” Environment Secretary James Kenney said in a news release. “Willful violations of worker safety requirements must have consequences for employers – every employee deserves to come home from work healthy.”
In addition to the citations, the hearing officer who heard the case recommended that New MexiCann’s producer’s license be permanently revoked. He submitted his report to the Health Department on Friday.
