LAX SAFETY BLAMED IN DEATH AT DUPONT -
BUSINESS - THE BUFFALO NEWS,
http://www.buffalonews.com/business/article414021.ece
Federal regulators Thursday said "serious" safety violations
at
the DuPont chemical plant in the Town of Tonawanda led to last November's
chemical explosion that killed a contractor working at the site.
Following a six-month probe, the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration announced it plans to fine DuPont and contractor Mollenberg-
Betz
nearly $117,000 for 17 violations stemming from the blast that killed Richa
rd
J. Folaron and badly burned a co-worker.
A search of The Buffalo News archives found the combined penalty is the
largest proposed fine issued by the local OSHA office for workplace safety
violations over the past two years.
OSHA cited the companies for failing to make sure that any chemical res
idue
and flammable vapors were cleaned out of the storage tank before Folaron an
d
William R. Freeburg started doing welding work there.
