OSHA Violations
By: Derek Hawkins//February 6, 2017//
Listen to this article7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Dana Container, Inc. v. Secretary of Labor
Case No.: 16-1087
Officials: WOOD, Chief Judge, and EASTERBROOK and SYKES, Circuit Judges
Focus: OSHA Violations
It is not hard to find people who complain about government regulations, but the regulations often exist because people do not take optimal precautions on a voluntary basis. This case illustrates that problem. It arose after toxic fumes in a large container knocked out a man who was working inside it. Fortunately, he was rescued by the local fire department, but his employer, Dana Container, wound up fighting citations from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). After an administrative law judge (ALJ) and the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission upheld OSHA’s actions, Dana turned to this Court. Because Dana has not provided a compelling reason to overturn the Commission’s determinations, we deny its petition for review.
Petition Denied
