OSHA: Auto Supplier Claims Safety is ‘Too Expensive’
Daeil hasn’t corrected hazards at an Alabama facility because of cost, OSHA says.
Daeil, a supplier of Hyundai Motor and Kia Motor, repeatedly has been cited for the same hazards, yet hasn’t corrected the issues because of cost, OSHA says.
“Management at this facility has adopted a productivity-over-safety mentality and repeatedly claims that it is ‘too expensive’ to address the safety hazards found in this workplace,” said Joseph Roesler, OSHA’s area director in Mobile.
“The safety culture of this company must change immediately; protecting workers must always come before profit margins.
