FALL RIVER - A federal
workplace-safety agency has cited a foundry in southern
Wisconsin for 10 alleged safety violations.
The Occupational Safety and
Health Administration has proposed fines of $57,600 against
Fall River Foundry. OSHA says the company failed to protect
workers from exposure to metal dust at its brass foundry in
Fall River.
A Fall River spokesman
declined to comment Thursday.
OSHA alleges repeat
violations of exposing workers to elevated amounts of copper
and lead dust. It says the company also failed to install
adequate safety controls to reduce exposure.
Fall River Foundry has 15
business days to comply with the fines, contest the
citations or request a conference with OSHA.
Fall River is in Columbia
County, about 30 miles northeast of Madison.
