United State Department of Labor Cites Dallas Texas Dollar Tree Store $129,336 for Exposing Employees to Safety Hazards.
The United States Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited Dollar Tree Stores Incorporated for exposing workers to fire, smoke and other hazards at one of their Dallas locations.
The store was inspected by OSHA after it received a referral by a whistleblower investigator claiming unsafe working conditions. OSHA cited the company for one willful violation for locking an emergency exit. The Agency and the company reached a corporate-wide settlement agreement to address unsafe conditions found at several stores in 2015.
“Locked emergency exits prevent quick evacuation in an emergency, needlessly placing employees at risk for serious harm,” said OSHA Dallas Area Director Basil Singh.
