Willful Offender: Dollar General on OSHA’s Violation List Again
Discount retailer has been cited with more than 100 safety and health violations since 2010.
Dollar General store #13229 in Jonestown, Pa. is the latest location that demonstrates Dollar General’s six-year failure to take corrective actions to ensure employee and customer safety at its locations.
On Oct. 18, 2016, OSHA issued citations for one willful and two repeat safety violations after an inspection on April 18, 2016 initiated because of an employee complaint.
The agency cited a willful violation after inspectors found the discount retailer barricaded an emergency exit door in the back room with a metal bar.
