2012 - 08/29/2012 - US Department of Labor's OSHA cites Wenco Energy with repeat and serious violations based on follow-up inspection at Tulsa, Okla., plant: TULSA, Okla. – The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Wenco Energy Corp. in Tulsa with 23 serious and eight repeat safety and health violations, including exposure to unguarded saws and sanders, at the company's East 56th Street manufacturing facility. OSHA initiated an inspection in February as a follow-up to a September 2010 inspection that was conducted after a worker was killed at the facility. Proposed penalties total $167,090.
"By failing to provide required machine guarding and correct other deficiencies, Wenco Energy continues to risk serious injury to workers, including amputations," said David Bates, OSHA's area director in Oklahoma City. "In this case, it is fortunate that no one else has been injured."
