DCI contests OSHA violations
May 12, 2021LISBON Two years ago, the US Department of Labor s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued thirty-seven health and safety violations against DCI, Inc. in Lisbon with fines totaling $378,488. DCI contested the penalties, but COVID delayed the hearing process.
According to OSHA, the most significant of the 37 safety violations resulted from a complaint. OSHA determined the violations were willful, and DCI faced $119,338 in penalties. While OSHA considered the other offenses to be serious, they had not been marked as deliberate.
OSHA began an investigation at the Lisbon plant after a DCI employee was seriously injured in 2018 by being pulled into an automated wood cutting machine. The study uncovered that a supervisor had disabled a safety light curtain on the device, which stops a machine s operation when an employee gets too close.
