Missouri Charcoal Manufacturer Faces More than $300K in OSHA Citations

Friday, Mar. 20th 2020

Electrical Construction and Maintenance posted an update. See below.

Two of company’s Missouri locations cited for multiple hazards, including electrical and LOTO violations

OSHA recently cited Royal Oak Enterprises for exposing employees to multiple safety and health hazards at its facilities in Branson and Summersville, Mo. Facing $339,702 in penalties, the charcoal manufacturer was cited for 19 serious violations at the Branson location for exposing employees to confined space entry, electrical, housekeeping, hearing, and forklift hazards; deficiencies in lockout/tagout; inadequate machine guarding; and failure to mount a fire extinguisher. At the Summersville facility, OSHA found 10 serious violations for electrical and forklift hazards, accumulation of combustible material and exposing employees to silica dust.

The company has 15 business days from receipt of the citations and penalties to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA’s area director, or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

“Every employer is required to provide a workplace free of hazards,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Loren Sweatt. “Employers who implement a safety and health program that includes identifying and fixing hazards can minimize the risk of worker injuries and illnesses.”

Northland Injury Law is proud of the relationships they’ve built with the clients they have served in the Northland and surrounding areas.  Their many great results for seriously injured people have helped their clients recover the significant economic losses that attend such serious injuries.

When it comes to a lawsuit after an accident or injury, representation matters! Most people do not realize that insurance companies have teams of lawyers, investigators, photographers and defense experts who immediately go to work following a serious accident involving their insureds.  They hire these people to minimize their exposure throughout the claims process and to reduce the amount received by the victim. Northland Injury Law aims to level the playing field for their clients.

This is an excellent law firm. They helped me out after an accident and did an awesome job. I would recommend this law firm to anyone who needs a good lawyer.” – Toni B.
