The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has proposed fining Texas-based fabrication and recycling facility Vinton Steel $269,631 in penalties after a follow-up inspection allegedly uncovered repeated violations of federal safety and health regulations, according to a July 11 press release.
Inspectors say the facility was still “endangering its workers” in a visit in January of this year, almost two years after the DOL added Osaka, Japan-based Kyoei Steel LTD—which operates as Vinton Steel LLC in Texas—to its list of “severe violators” and cited it for 19 serious violations.
