Commission Issues Decision in Walmart, Inc., OSHRC No. 17-0949.
This case is before the Commission on remand from the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Walsh v. Walmart, Inc., 49 F.4th 821 (2d Cir. 2022). Administrative Law Judge Keith E. Bell affirmed a citation issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to Walmart, Inc., alleging that pallets of merchandise kept on racks at a Walmart distribution center in Johnstown, New York, were “stored in tiers” but not “blocked . . . so that they [were] stable and secure against sliding or collapse,” as required by 29 C.F.R. § 1910.176(b).
