Hazards at Connecticut plastics facility run the gamut
Fall, mechanical, electrical & chemical dangers earn co. 24 violations
Employees at Superior Plastics Extrusion Co. Inc., doing business as Impact Plastics, were exposed to two dozen safety and health hazards, including falls and mechanical hazards, according to federal inspectors. OSHA has proposed penalties totaling $66,789 for violations at the company's Putnam, Connecticut, manufacturing plant.
"While the range of hazards in a manufacturing setting can be broad, their proliferation is unacceptable,” said Warren Simpson, OSHA's area director in Hartford.
