OSHA proposes $459,844 in fines to Panthera Painting
January 30, 2013
OSHA proposes $459,844 in fines to Panthera Painting Incorporated for exposing workers to lead and other health and safety hazards.
OSHA cited Canonsburg based Panthera Painting Incorporated with 38 alleged violations including fourteen willful and eleven repeat work sites in Slatedale, Harrisburg and Slatington. There, workers were exposed to lead and other health and safety hazards when performing abrasive repainting and blasting projects.
"The employer's refusal to correct the hazards, along with its history of failing to correct hazards, demonstrates a clear resistance to worker safety and health and leaves workers vulnerable to potential illnesses and injuries from overexposure to lead and other hazards," said MaryAnn Garrahan, OSHA regional administrator in Philadelphia. "Employers have a legal responsibility to provide workers with safe and healthful workplaces. Anything less is unacceptable."
