Penn Aluminum International LLC has been cited by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration for nine serious safety violations carrying proposed fines of $45,000.
OSHA initiated an inspection of the aluminum product manufacturer in January under the national emphasis program for the primary metal industry.
The nine violations involve inadequate machine guarding, lack of guard railing around a fall hazard and failing to evaluate spaces to determine if they required confined space entry permits.
Additional violations include modifying powered industrial trucks without manufacturer’s approval, failing to maintain floors in a dry condition and failing to inspect slings and fastenings prior to use and remove damaged slings from service.
