Excelsior, MN -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/03/2015 -- Privately held manufacturing firms must attain and sustain environmental, health, and safety compliance. Manufacturers rely heavily on employees to make the business productive and profitable. Lost workdays due to sickness or injury quickly diminish profits; employees want to know manufacturers care about their health and safety. U.S. Compliance Corp helps manufacturers avoid non-compliance lawsuits and fines by partnering and creating a customized program, practical to implement, easy to follow, and preventing workers' comp claims or costly citations.
A Kansas City, KS., company specializing in fire and water damage restoration work has agreed to pay a fine of $12,194 for violation of Environmental Protection Agency rules regarding working practices on projects in which lead-based paints might be involved. Officials from the EPA's Region 7 office in Lenexa, KS said that an inspection of records showed that Damage Control and Restoration Inc., failed to distribute required informational materials and retain records documenting safe working practices.
The EPA said the company violated provisions of a renovation, repair, and painting rule that seeks to reduce exposure to toxic lead dust that can be generated during work projects. The rule regulates not only lead-based painting activities. These are easily remedied gaps in health and safety programs.
