20 Feb 2024 Kenric Steel LLCSteel fabricator Kenric Steel: $348,683 – deficiencies despite warning from its own consultant USAWorkplace safety and accidents €322,795

Following a complaint, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) found at the family-run steel fabrication business in Millville (New Jersey), among other things, missing medical evaluations for respirator users, uninspected overhead cranes, incorrectly used welding screens and missing chemical hazard training – even though a safety consultant had identified the deficiencies months earlier. Proposed: $348,683 (4 wilful, 7 serious violations); the company contested the citations.

What organisations can take from it

A consultant's report identifying known deficiencies that is not acted upon will later serve as evidence of wilfulness.

Relevance to training and awareness

Hazardous substance training for new employees

Missing or inadequate training played a role in the decision.
