Fire at Conn. manufacturing company injures four workers
A fire alarm that didn’t work, improperly grounded machinery and a lack of PPE were some of the hazards found by OSHA at a Connecticut manufacturing facility, after an August fire that left four workers hospitalized.
Uretek Archer LLC, a urethane coating and laminate fabric manufacturer in New Haven, was cited for both serious and repeat violations of workplace safety standards after the blaze, which occurred when a flammable solvent used to clean machines ignited.
