• Connecticut Employer Faces Fines for Repeat Violations


“Hoffman Auto Body Shop of East Hartford, Conn., has been cited by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for repeat and serious violations of workplace safety standards.

”OSHA's Hartford office re-inspected the business to verify correction of hazards cited during a 2011 inspection. OSHA found recurring hazards from the storage of equipment and materials, some flammable, near paint spray booths and electric panels. The stored materials limited access to extinguish potential fires, presented fire and shock hazards and impeded cleaning around the booths, allowing potentially combustible materials to accumulate.

”The auto body repair shop faces proposed fines of $54,300.”
