AFL Web Socked by OSHA for Violations

The willful violation was cited for failing to provide proper machine guarding to protect workers. According to OSHA, the repeat violations involve failing to ensure listed or labeled equipment was used in accordance with instructions, and to conduct a periodic inspection of lockout/tagout procedures of energy sources to safeguard workers from the unexpected startup of machinery during servicing or maintenance. The company was cited for the same repeat violations in 2009.
