OSHA Fines South Dakota Grain Company $95K for Violations
A Labolt grain company is facing $95,000 in fines after federal investigators found more than a dozen safety violations.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced the proposed penalties against LaBolt Farmers Grain Company Inc. on Friday.
Three of the 13 citations were considered serious, including failing to effectively train workers entering confined spaces and grain bins. A serious violation is when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard that the employer knew or should have known about.
The company has 15 days to comply, ask for a conference with OSHA or contest the penalties.
An employee who answered the phone at LaBolt Friday said he was not authorized to comment.
