Steelmaker Fined $126,500 for Safety Breaches

Summary


Universal Stainless & Alloy Products of Bridgeville faces $126,500 in fines from the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration for alleged safety and health violations, the agency said Monday. Universal Stainless, which operates a steel foundry, was cited for one repeat violation that carries a $25,000 fine, and 35 serious violations that carry $101,500 in penalties, OSHA said. Among the serious violations were improper storage of gas cylinders, lacking personal protective equipment for workers using high voltage equipment and various electrical hazards.
