NY Linen Service Faces Proposed OSHA Fines for Alleged Violations

ALBANY, N.Y. — The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) has cited Morgan Linen Service, Menands, N.Y., for 21 alleged safety and health violations at its plant, the agency reports.
The textile rental service faces $47,600 in proposed fines following a programmed OSHA inspection initiated in February.
The citations “encompass a cross-section of fall protection, flammable, confined space, lockout and bloodborne pathogen hazards as well as inadequate personal protective equipment and hazard communication training,” says Edward Jerome, OSHA’s area director in Albany.
Morgan Linen Service has 15 business days from receipt to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA, or contest the findings before an independent commission.
