The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) cited HB Fuller Company – operating as Adhesive Systems Inc. – for violations at its facility in Frankfort, Illinois.
OSHA cited the adhesives manufacturer for failing to provide employees with respirator fit tests and respirators appropriate for hazardous atmospheres; require bonding and grounding when transferring flammable liquids; ensure that electrical equipment was approved for use in hazardous atmospheres; and conduct a personal protective equipment assessment.
HB Fuller Company has 15 business days from receipt of 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.
