OSH Act violation sends company president to federal prison
Two workers died from exposure to hydrogen sulfide
The former president of Port Arthur Chemical and Environmental Services LLC (PACES) will be going to prison for occupational safety crimes which resulted in the death of an employee.
Matthew Lawrence Bowman, 41, of Houston, was sentenced last month to 12 months in federal prison, after pleading to violating the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) and making a false statement. Bowman was also ordered to pay $5,000 in fines.
