OSHA cites Venture Metals after employee suffers injury
OSHA has cited Dallas-based Venture Metals for exposing employees to crushing hazards after a stack of pipes fell and crushed a worker, leading to his hospitalization. The company faces penalties of $311,580 for repeated and serious safety and health violations.
OSHA conducted an inspection and determined that the company also failed to implement measures to control lead exposure, train workers in lockout/tagout procedures, and follow confined space entry permit procedures. OSHA cited the company for similar violations in 2016.
