OSHA has cited Fortune Plastic and Metal Texas LLC for six alleged serious and six alleged repeat violations.  OSHA issued the citations after a safety and health inspection at a Dallas, Texas worksite on East Kiest Boulevard.  The company could face penalties totalling $125,000.00.  Some allegations involve workers possibly being exposed to lead.  The alleged “serious” violations included failing to guard open-sided floors and platforms.  An OSHA “serious” violation is one in which there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.  The company is allowed to request an informal conference with OSHA’s Dallas Area Office or contest the citations and penalties before OSHA’s review commission.
