"Uretek Archer LLC, a urethane coating and laminate fabric manufacturer in New Haven, CT, has been cited by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration after four workers were hospitalized in August because of a machine fire. The agency found two repeat violations similar to violations cited during a 2008 inspection, and four serious violations. "The inspection revealed that Uretek did not meet OSHA's hazardous energy control requirements, such as shutting down and securing the power source before maintenance of the machine that caught fire, among other violations. The fire occurred when a flammable solvent used to clean machines ignited. OSHA found that the employer had not taken adequate precautions to eliminate potential ignition sources and that the fire alarm system was inoperable. ”Uretek Archer has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and proposed penalties to comply, meet informally with OSHA's area director or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.” Source: USDOL-OSHA |
