OSHA cites Sanoh America with 13 safety violations for exposing workers to hazards

FINDLAY, OH (PRESS RELEASE) – The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited auto parts manufacturer Sanoh America Inc. with 13 violations, including one repeat, for exposing workers to fire hazards, dangerous fumes and other safety hazards at the company’s Findlay plant. Proposed penalties total $83,000.

An Oct. 4, 2011, inspection, initiated based on a complaint, determined the facility’s plating line had caught fire during production earlier in the year. OSHA cited the repeat violation for failing to develop, document and utilize procedures to control potentially hazardous energy in relation to the incident. No injuries were reported. A repeat violation exists when an employer previously has been cited for the same or a similar violation of a standard, regulation, rule or order at any other facility in federal enforcement states within the last five years. Similar violations were cited in 2009 at the company’s Mount Vernon facility.
