PITTSBURGH – The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Tsudis Chocolate Co. Inc. for 19 alleged safety violations at its Pittsburgh manufacturing facility. Proposed penalties total $87,260. OSHA opened its February inspection after an employee sustained crushing injuries to the right hand and wrist because a machine inadvertently activated while he set it up. The inspection was also conducted in accordance with OSHA’s Emphasis Program on Amputations.
“Tsudis Chocolate could have prevented this unfortunate incident by having the proper hazardous energy controls in place,” said Christopher Robinson, director of the OSHA Pittsburgh Area Office. “It is vital that the company abate these hazards as soon as possible to protect the safety of its workers.”
