OSHA lobs another $195K in fines on United for worker safety violations
Federal officials, Tuesday, proposed fining United Airlines $192,500 for multiple violations of worker health standards that inspectors uncovered during an audit of the carrier's O'Hare International Airport operations.
The alleged health hazards ranged from the design of flammable liquid storage cabinets to a failure to conduct a survey to determine the presence of asbestos. They were found during an examination of United's largest airport hub conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration from November 2007 through February 2008.
