YTD Postal Service’s OSHA Fines Over $2 million:

USPS Cited for Violations in Portland, OR
APWU Web News Article 061-2010, June 28, 2010
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) cited the USPS for “willful and serious” safety violations at the Portland, OR Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC) for exposing employees to electrical hazards.
The OSHA citations issued at the Portland facility total $77,000. Postal employees were performing tests on live equipment without adequate protective gear, and were exposed to electrocution from energized machinery. Two additional fines were issued for failure to lockout power sources on machinery and for inadequate insulation on power cables at the P&DC.
The recent citations bring the Postal Service’s total OSHA fines to over $2 million.
