OSHA issued 22 citations to Kumho Tire Georgia, Inc., Sae Joong Mold, Inc., and J-Brothers, Inc. from a follow-up inspection that found health and safety hazards at the tire manufacturing facility in Macon, GA. Collectively, the three companies are facing $523,895 in fines.
J-Brothers Inc. was cited for exposing employees to smoke inhalation and burn hazards by failing to mount portable fire extinguishers and failing to perform annual maintenance on fire extinguishers.
“Potential workplace hazards must be assessed and eliminated to ensure a safe work environment,” said OSHA Atlanta-East Area Director William Fulcher. “This employer exposed workers to multiple safety and health deficiencies that put them at risk for serious or fatal injuries.”
