The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration said Monday that it cited a Pennsylvania dumpster manufacturer for exposing workers to a variety of safety and health hazards.
OSHA cited Milton-based Custom Container Solutions LLC for two willful, three repeat, and 23 serious and other-than-serious violations after investigators conducted a targeted inspection of the company’s Milton facility in March. The agency proposed penalties of $484,401.
The company was cited for failing to provide welders with personal protective equipment, failing to establish an energy control program, and failing to ensure proper machine guarding.
Custom Container Solutions, which also has a facility in Hadley, Pennsylvania, manufactures steel containers for companies working in waste management, recycling and energy.
The company has 15 business days to contest the citation and proposed fines.
