Theme park company says killer whale trainers are safe
The company that operates SeaWorld theme parks and the California agency responsible for protecting the state’s workers are clashing in court. SeaWorld Entertainment is contesting four citations issued by California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health in April alleging that measures used to protect employees who work closely with killer whales are insufficient.
Proposed penalties for the citations are $25. The company reported sales of $606 million for the first six months of the year.
