The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has fined Case Farms Processing Inc.—a leading supplier of chicken to national fast food and supermarket brands—$861,500 after inspectors cited the company’s Ohio processing plant with 55 violations following their most recent visit.
“Case Farms is an outrageously dangerous place to work. In the past 25 years, Case Farms has been cited for more than 350 safety and health violations,” says David Michaels, assistant secretary of labor for OSHA. “Despite committing to OSHA that it would eliminate serious hazards, Case Farms continues to endanger the safety and health of its workers. This simply must stop.”
