With 15 years of violations, Texas company faces more than $321K in new fines
Continued to use defective 500-pound press with a tendency to drop without warning
With a history of safety violations dating back 15 years, an El Paso metal stamping plant is no stranger to warnings from OSHA.
In the latest action, the agency issued 13 safety and health citations to D&D Manufacturing Inc. following a recent inspection prompted by a formal complaint. The inspection identified 13 safety and health citations for exposing workers to amputations and other serious injuries from unsafe machinery, including a violation for ignoring the danger of allowing employees to work with a defective 500-pound metal press that the company knew had repeatedly dropped without warning.
