The company faces total proposed penalties of $62,090 following an inspection of its Brookville flour mill and mix facility, which was initiated by OSHA in May under the agency's local emphasis program on grain handling operations.

"Employers cited with repeat violations have demonstrated a lack of commitment to worker safety and health, and contempt for OSHA's standards," said Bill Wilkerson, OSHA's area director in Cincinnati. "OSHA is committed to protecting workers on the job, especially when employers fail to do so."
