OSHA Fines Dollar General For Jeopardizing Worker Safety
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is fining Dollar General after completing an investigation into a store it says violated several federal workplace safety policies.
OSHA’s June inspection of the low-priced merchandise store in Mobile, Ala., found that Dolgencorp LLC — a subsidiary of Dollar General — violated several rules and regulations.
The inspection found that store operators failed to keep emergency exits open and orderly, exposed workers to slip and trip hazards and falling boxes and prevented access to electrical panels, according to an OSHA release dated Monday.
