Uma kukhiywa/kuthegiwe, ukwephulwa kokuvikelwa komshini

I-Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) icaphune i-Safeway Inc. ngomhlaka-10 Agasti, ithi inkampani yephule umthetho wenkampani wokukhiya/ukuvala isitshalo sobisi, ukuvikelwa komshini, kanye nezinye izindinganiso. Inhlawulo iyonke ephakanyiswe yi-OSHA ingu-$339,379.

I-ejensi ihlole isitshalo sokupakisha ubisi saseDenver esiqhutshwa yiSafeway ngoba isisebenzi silahlekelwe yiminwe emine ngenkathi sisebenzisa umshini wokubumba owawungenazo izindlela zokuvikela ezidingekayo.

“I-Safeway Inc. yayazi ukuthi imishini yayo yayingenazo izindlela zokuzivikela, kodwa inkampani yakhetha ukuqhubeka nokusebenza ngaphandle kokucabanga ngokuphepha kwabasebenzi,” kusho uMqondisi Wesifunda saseDenver i-OSHA u-Amanda Kupper esitatimendeni se-ejensi. “Lokhu kungakhathali kwabangela ukuthi isisebenzi silimale kakhulu unomphela.”

Ngokusho kwe-OSHA, iSafeway iyinkampani engaphansi kwe-Albertsons Companies futhi isebenzisa izitolo ezifundazweni ezingu-35 kanye naseSifundeni saseColumbia.

I-OSHA ikhulume ngeSafeway njengokwephulwa okukhulu kwemithethoukukhiya/ukuphumaizindinganiso futhi yathola ukuthi inkampani ayizange:

Le nhlangano ikhulume ngokwephulwa ngamabomu nangokungathi sína kweSafewayukukhiya/ukuphumaindinganiso ngoba lapho abasebenzi bokulungisa besebenza emishinini emibili yokubumba efektri, behluleka ukuthuthukisa, ukurekhoda, nokusebenzisa izinqubo zesinyathelo ngesinyathelo ukulawula amandla angaba yingozi. I-OSHA iphinde yaphawula ukwephulwa ngamabomu nangokungathi sína kwe-Safeway kwezindinganiso zokuvikela umshini zemishini engavikelekile, okubeka abasebenzi engozini yokunqunywa, ukubanjwa/ukucindezelwa, kanye nokuchotshozwa.

I-OSHA ikhulume ngesimangalo se-Safeway sokuthi yephule kakhulu izindinganiso zomsebenzi wokuhamba ngokuvuza kwamafutha e-hydraulic, okubangela izingozi zokushelela nokuwa okungenzeka. Abahloli bezikhungo bathole ukuthi iphedi yokuchitheka ayizange ishintshwe lapho isigcwele ngokuphelele, futhi ikhadibhodi elikhululekile labekwa phansi phansi komshini wokwakha.

I-ejensi iphinde yacaphuna isimangalo somqashi sokuthi yephule kakhulu izindinganiso zegesi ezicindezelwe zamasilinda e-nitrogen angaphephile. Umhloli uthole ukuthi isilinda se-nitrogen phakathi negumbi ngemuva komshini wokubumba sasimile futhi singalungisiwe.

Ngemva kokuthola incwadi yokubizelwa emsebenzini kanye nesijeziso, iSafeway inezinsuku zokusebenza ezingu-15 zokuthobela umyalelo wesijeziso kanye nokukhululwa wenhlangano, icele umhlangano ongakahleleki nomqondisi wesifunda we-OSHA, noma iveze imiphumela yophenyo lwenhlangano phambi kwesiphikiso seBhodi Lokubukeza Ukuphepha Nokuphila Emsebenzini.

      Ukukhiya/ukuthegakanye nezindinganiso zokuvikela imishini yizona zindinganiso ezivame ukucashunwa yi-OSHA. Ngonyaka wezimali ka-2020 ophela ngoSepthemba 30, 2020, le nhlangano ikhulume nge-ukukhiya/ukuphumaindinganiso (29 CFR §1910.147) izikhathi ezingu-2,065 kanye nendinganiso yokuvikela umshini (§1910.212) izikhathi ezingu-1,313. I-OSHA iphinde yakha uhlelo oluqhubekayo lwe-National Priority Program (NEP) lokukhiqiza izinqamu, okuhlanganisa ukuhlolwa kanye nokuphoqelelwa kwezindinganiso zokukhiya/ukugoqa kanye nokuvikela umshini.
