Pet-Food Manufacturer Shutting Down After Spending ‘Every Penny’ to Comply with OSHA Standards
“Having spent basically every penny that we have to come into compliance, there’s just nothing left for the citations,” All-Feed owner Tim Anderson told the Galva News.
Some say that OSHA’s bark is far worse than its bite. However, an Illinois pet-food manufacturer is finding that OSHA’s bite can be lethal.
The owner of All-Feed Processing and Packaging Inc. told a local newspaper that the company is closing its doors because All-Feed can’t afford to pay the penalties that OSHA has levied for numerous safety violations. In May, the agency hit All-Feed with $254,000 in fines for exposing workers to combustible-dust and respiratory hazards.
