Despite OSHA citations and a formal agreement, La. co. continues to jeopardize workers
U.S. Minerals cited for confined space, LOTO hazards
OSHA has cited U.S. Minerals LLC with 11 safety and health violations following a September 2013 inspection at the company’s Harvey, La. facility – but that wasn’t the agency’s first visit to one of the company’s facilities.
OSHA conducted an inspection in June 2010 issued 18 serious, 10 repeat and two other-than-serious violations with fines totaling $118,800. The employer contested the citations, and a formal settlement agreement was reached on Aug. 20, 2012.
