报道说，去年11月，美国联邦职业安全与卫生署（Occupational Safety and Health
Administration，OSHA）对“福耀美国”工厂的一些违规行为处以约22.5万美元的罚款。因为工厂设备没有在修理保养时关闭电源等的锁定功能。“福耀美国”公司今年3月同意采取纠正措施，并通过谈判将罚款降到10万美元。
In a release from the Department of Labor, workers began making
complaints of unsafe working conditions shortly after the plant opened
in October 2015 leading to eight separate federal investigations and
$226,937 in penalties.
Those inspections found several violations including machine safety
problems that “expose workers to amputation and other serious injuries,
as well as a lack of personal protective equipment, electrical hazards,
failing to train workers about hazardous chemicals in use and unmarked
exits.”
The Department of Labor says Fuyao has contested all the following OSHA violations issued this year.
According to Department of Labor records, Fuyao has been investigated
eight times this year and found to have 24 safety violations. The
records do not detail the specifics of each instance. You can find more
details about these complaints and fines on the Department of Labor website.
The United Auto Workers said in May that workers at Fuyao Glass
America filed formal complaints with the Cincinnati office of OSHA.
Fuyao Glass America Inc. says it has resolved the standing complaints filed with the Occupational Health and Safety Administration by some of its 2,000 workers.
The Moraine-based automotive company has been working over the past year to handle a number of outstanding concerns for safety in the new plant, where
it has nearly 2 million square feet under roof. In November, OSHA said
Fuyao had racked up $227,000 in fines from 23 complaints. Tuesday, the
auto glass manufacturer said it had "amicably" resolved those
violations.
“Over the past year, our team of health and safety professionals — including nurses, specialists, engineers and outside contractors
— have worked tirelessly to develop innovative safety solutions,” said
Jeff Daochuan Liu, president of Fuyao Glass America. “We are committed
to maintaining a safe working environment for our employees.”
In the past few months, the company has put $7 million into stronger
safety measures around the plant. It has also partnered with local
colleges to train supervisors in safety skills and formed an internal
environmental health and safety team, teaching in both English and Chinese.
The complaints, according to OSHA, had
centered around alleged lack of protective equipment, exit signs and
other safety equipment.
“Fuyao’s rapid growth means more than just
new equipment,” Liu said. “Our people are new, too. It’s necessary that
we invest in training programs as we continue to invest in this plant, the largest auto glass manufacturing plant in the world.”
Fuyao Glass America Inc. has more than
2,000 employees in Moraine now, and the company expects that number to
grow to 2,300 to 2,500 by the end of this year. In October, officials
said that Fuyao could employ 3,000 people in Moraine.
It reported a $41 million loss in 2016, in
spite of a $104.4 million net profit for the organization. Fuyao
officials said in the fall they expect the plant to break even this year
and turn a profit in years after.
