Umenzi wamatye waseCincinnati-Cincinnati uphinde wakhankanywa ngokungaphumeleli ukuqinisekisa ukuthotyelwa kweenkqubo zokhuseleko loomatshini nokufaka ii-machine guards ngokuhambelana neemfuno zomthetho, nto leyo ebeka abasebenzi emngciphekweni wokunqunyulwa kwamalungu omzimba.
Uphando lwe-OSHA lufumanise ukuba iSims Lohman Inc. ayizange isebenziseiinkqubo zokutshixa/zokuthegaukuthintela abasebenzi (abasika igranite kunye namanye amatye ezakhiwo nezindlu zengingqi) ukuba bangafikeleli kwiindawo zomatshini ezazisebenza.
Le nkampani ikwaqhuba oomatshini abangenazo okanye abangenazo ii-gauge ezaneleyo kunye nokugcinwa okungafanelekanga kolwelo olunokutsha.
I-OSHA icebisa isohlwayo se-$203,826 ngenxa yokwaphula imithetho yokhuseleko izihlandlo ezithathu. USims Lohman wabizwa ngenxa yokwaphula imithetho efanayo ngoFebruwari 2020.
UMlawuli weSithili se-OSHA uKen Montgomery uthe: “USims Lohman wasilela ukufezekisa uxanduva lwakhe lokuphuhlisa izicwangciso zokhuseleko loomatshini nokuqeqesha abasebenzi indlela yokulawula amandla ayingozi ukuthintela ukwenzakala okukhulu.”
UMontgomery wongeze wathi: “Ukungabikho kokhuseleko olufanelekileyo loomatshini kuseyenye yezona ngozi zikhankanywa rhoqo yi-OSHA. Abaqeshi banoxanduva lokuphonononga rhoqo nokuhlaziya iinkqubo zabo ukuqinisekisa ukuba abasebenzi bakhuselekile emsebenzini.”
Ngenxa yoko, abasebenzi abasebenzisa nabalungisa oomatshini bafumana ukunqunyulwa kwamalungu omzimba okumalunga ne-18,000, ukukrazulwa kwamalungu omzimba, ukwenzakala kokutyumzeka, ukukrweleka, kunye nokufa okungaphezulu kwama-800 minyaka le.
Ukunqunyulwa kwelungu lomzimba yenye yezona zinto zinzima nezimbi kakhulu emsebenzini, kwaye kudla ngokubangela ukukhubazeka okusisigxina.
I-OSHA ibonelela ngezixhobo zoqeqesho ezisekelwe kwiwebhu "ezizimeleyo" ngezihloko zokhuseleko emsebenzini kunye nempilo. Babonelela ngolwazi olukhokelayo lokuphuhlisa isicwangciso esibanzi sokhuseleko kunye nempilo.
Ziquka izinto ezigqitha iimfuno ezithile ze-OSHA, ezifana neengcebiso zeendlela ezilungileyo zoshishino.
