The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited a Forsyth County operation for exposing workers to a variety of hazards.
According to an OSHA report released Wednesday, 23 safety and health violations occurred at Olde Atlanta Recycling LLC's facility in Cumming.
Proposed penalties total $69,200, with $55,800 for 15 serious safety violations, $10,800 for serious health violations and $2,600 for violations deemed in the report as "other than serious."
A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known, the report said.
