The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration, OSHA, has fined a Pennsylvania refractory company over $54,000 in fines pertaining to work hazards.

Two of the company’s locations were tested for levels of lead after a request to investigate was given to OSHA by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. This request came after a man who worked for the company, Refractory Installation and Construction Headquarters Inc., had an elevated amount of lead in his blood.
