Safety 2014: OSHA Focusing on Protecting Temporary Workers
In late June, OSHA handed out $135,200 in fines to a Texas vegetable processor and its staffing agency for exposing temporary workers to dangerous noise levels, toxic chemicals and other alleged hazards.
Earlier in the month, the agency issued $40,600 in fines to California Cereal Products Inc., alleging that the cereal maker exposed full-time and temporary workers to electrical, fall and noise hazards at its Macon, Ga., facility.
