*DECISION AND ORDER*

Stolle Products, a Division of American Trim (Stolle), operates a metal
finishing plant in Sidney, Ohio. After an employee burned his legs in an
acid tank on April 19, 2000, the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) conducted an inspection of Stolle's annodizing
department. OSHA's inspection resulted in Stolle receiving serious and
"other" than serious citations on July 12, 2000. Stolle timely contested
the citations.

A hearing was held on January 11, 2001, in Dayton, Ohio.

On March 20, 2001, an executed stipulation and settlement agreement was
received from the parties. The settlement having been considered, it is
ORDERED:

1. That the terms of the settlement are approved and incorporated herein
as part of this order;

2. That the citations and proposed penalties are vacated, amended and
affirmed in accordance with the terms of the settlement and a total
penalty in the amount of $9,200 is assessed; and

3. That Respondent's motion to withdraw its notice of contest, pursuant
to the terms of the settlement, is granted.
