Georgia paint manufacturer exposed workers to amputation, electrical hazards
Plaid Enterprises Inc. was cited by OSHA for six safety violations that involved amputation, electrical and other safety hazards following an April 2014 inspection at the company's craft paint production facility located on Mellon Court in Decatur, Ga. OSHA initiated the inspection in response to a complaint. Proposed penalties total $84,500.
Staffing agency Prologistix provided temporary workers for the Plaid Enterprises' facility, but neither maintained supervision at the company nor was knowledgeable about the facility's hazardous conditions. No citations were proposed for Prologistix.
