- vasco 10mo agoAt least it's a rare case where leadership sees the consequences of their lackluster safety practices
- CrossVR 10mo agoYeah, the $1,800 fine for not filing a worker's injury with OSHA is also strange, because I don't see how it would cost a company less than $1,800 to pay a lawyer to complete and file that form.
- jhart99 10mo agoI think this is likely a process problem. Having been a safety officer for a lab in the past, there are two types of injury reports. One for regular injuries, you have a week to report. Serious injuries need to be reported within 24 hours. These are death and amputation injuries (there might be more, it's been a few years). Anyway I suspect they missed the deadline because it slipped through the cracks.
- CrossVR 10mo agoWhatever the cause is, the fine is so low that it's actually cheaper to simply not comply with the regulation.
- odie5533 10mo agoI would assume that OSHA fining the company does help out a subsequent wrongful death suit.
