OSHA has proposed $218,200 in fines against steel frame furniture manufacturer Dehler Manufacturing Company, Incorporated following an inspection at the company's facility in Chicago.
OSHA says it opened a follow-up inspection at Dehler after the company failed to show it had corrected safety violations involving power press brakes and mechanical power presses identified in a February 2005 inspection.
The agency says that the most recent inspection found continuing problems with power presses. The agency issued one serious, three willful, and five repeat citations for violations of safety and health standards.
OSHA says it has conducted five inspections at Dehler over the past five years, issuing citations for violations of workplace safety and health regulations in each case.
