OSHA fines Campbell subcontracting businessCommentEmailPrint Published: Fri, April 22, 2011 @ 12:00 a.m.
Staff report
CAMPBELL
A Campbell construction subcontracting business faces $207,200 in fines after the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration said the company failed to provide protection against falls.
APBN Inc., 670 Robinson Road, in business since 2004, worked on a $10.2 million bridge project on I-75’s Disalle Bridge over the Maumee River near Toledo last year. During an October inspection, OSHA found three willful violations relating to fall prevention.
A willful violation is knowing or voluntarily disregarding the law’s requirements or being indifferent to worker safety and health, according to OSHA. That included workers’ failure to wear flotation devices, having no guards on platforms and having a lack of available rescue staff.
OSHA also charged APBN with 10 serious violations and placed it on its Severe Violator Enforcement Program.
A serious violation occurs when there is “substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard,” according to OSHA.
“It means we’re going to continue to inspect the company until we deem it safe for a long period of time,” said Scott Allen, OSHA spokesman.
The company received an additional serious- violation citation on a follow-up inspection in March.
It’s not the first time APBN has faced citations from OSHA.
It was issued a serious-violation citation for inorganic-fume dust in 2007 (and informally settled) and paid a $1,000 fine for a safety violation in 2009.
APBN has 15 business days to accept or appeal fines. The business did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
As you can see the above article appeared on Vindy.com 4/22/11 & is very Relevant since Mr. Levendis sites in this article that he is the Project Mgr of APBN and deals with Local, State, & Federal Officials every day. Putting Money First by cutting corners over the Safety of your own men is appalling to many of us. Is this the type of Person we should Elect, that would have the Power to head the Safety Committee??
