After danger was known, company didn’t move other workers out of area
An aluminum plant worker sickened by hazardous chlorine gas while changing cylinders brought OSHA inspectors to Beck Aluminum Alloys Ltd., which operates Beck Aluminum Racine, for a close look at the company’s Racine, Wisc. plant.
One of their findings in that September, 2013 incident: that company officials did not remove other workers from the area after exposure to the gas was known. They also failed to evaluate the danger to life and health.
