OSHA conducted an inspection late in 2008 and found several alleged violations, including unguarded machinery, electrical hazards, fall hazards, an unmarked exit door, inadequately illuminated exit routes, confined space hazards, unsanitary eyewash facilities, poor housekeeping and no assessment of the workplace to determine what PPE workers would need. In addition, employees were allegedly exposed to crushing, struck-by and other hazards from unenclosed counterweights on a conveyor and an improperly maintained conveyor emergency stop cable.
