US Labor Department's OSHA fines Cooper Tire & Rubber Company $213,500 for willful, serious and repeat health and safety violations
Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited Cooper Tire & Rubber Company manufacturer of automotive and truck tires with 10 alleged health and safety violations for failing to provide fall protection from distances of more than 9 feet, failing to provide proper hazardous chemical protection to its workers and for unnecessarily exposing them to fire and explosion hazards.
"The lack of employee protection from fire, explosions and hazardous chemicals is completely unacceptable," said Jule Hovi, OSHA's area director in Toledo, Ohio. "OSHA is committed to ensuring workers have a safe and healthful workplace, and failing to follow proper safety and health procedures puts workers at unnecessary risk."
