United States Department of Labor Cites Three Queens Supermarkets $505,929 for Safety Violations
Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited Trade Fair Supermarkets for exposing employees to health and safety hazards at 3 of its locations in Queens, New York.
OSHA’s Queens District Office inspected supermarkets in Jackson Heights and Astoria. Inspectors found saw blades without safety guards, blocked exit routes, and a lack of eyewash stations needed in case of exposure to corrosive substances. The company did not train employees on hazardous chemicals used in the stores.
“The recurrence and pattern of these violations is troubling,” said OSHA Area Director Kay Gee, who oversees Queens, Manhattan, and Brooklyn. “These grocery stores must focus on safety and make it a priority.”
