LISTEN: Fatal Explosion in Ohio Foundry Linked to Safety Procedure Failures

Eric Sorensen

OSHA released its findings from a federal workplace safety investigation into a metal plant explosion that an agency official called "entirely preventable."

The incident at the I. Schumann & Co. foundry in Bedford, Ohio, last February resulted in a maintenance supervisor's death and injured 15 other workers. Now, the company is facing six serious violations and $62,500 in proposed penalties.
