Operative words
A federal workplace health investigation found that an auto insurance company ignored coronavirus safety requirements and allowed others displaying symptoms to work at the same Denver location where an employee died with COVID-19.... [OSHA] initiated an investigation on April 21, 2021, and found Fred Loya Insurance Agency Inc. did not safely distance employees, failed to implement a health and safety plan and allowed symptomatic workers to remain on site. The company faces $23,406 in proposed penalties.
Penalty
What it required
A general duty clause citation (row 'Fred Loya DENVER CO 1528139 10/1/2021 $23,406 OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1)' in Ex. AGY-FED-LABOR-IMMIGRATION-033) against an insurance agency, an office employer outside health care and food processing, for the 2021Q2 exposures: distancing, a written health and safety plan and exclusion of symptomatic workers were the required abatement.
Retrieval noteThe Area Director's quoted statement refers to the company's Fort Collins office; the release's title and dateline say Denver. Both are recorded as written.
