OSHA Fines TLD $85,000

July 7, 2014
Inspectors found electrical equipment not being used properly, workers doing electrical testing without protective equipment, and saw improperly stored flammable materials.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration officials said they found 17 serious safety violations at TLD Ace Corp's Windsor, CT, facility, and have fined the company $85,000 following an inspection in February, according to a report published in The Hartford Currant.

The inspection found that workers were routinely exposed to "potential falls, burns and electric shock due to missing or inadequate safeguards at the company's manufacturing plant."
