ALJ Decision and Order in TMD Staffing Becomes a Final Order of the Commission
TMD Staffing (TMD) contests a two-item Citation and Notification of Penalty (Citation) issued March 20, 2017, by the Secretary. The Secretary issued the Citation following an inspection by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) on November 21, 2016, of a facility operated by Hightower Metal Works, in response to a report of a serious employee injury. The injured employee was one of several employees provided to Hightower Metal Works by TMD. After inspecting the facility, a compliance safety and health officer (CSHO) recommended issuing citations to both Hightower Metal Works and TMD for failing to provide guards for four machines used by TMD-supplied employees in Hightower Metal Work’s facility, exposing the employees to struck-by and caught-by hazards.
