The Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration is trying to fine Sturm Ruger & Co. Inc. for 60 health and safety violations supposedly incurred at its Newport, N.H. manufacturing plant.
The administration is seeking to fine the company $255,150 for the violations found during inspections conducted between November 2008 and May 2009, according to the New Hampshire Union Leader.
Kevin Reid, Sturm Ruger’s general counsel, declined to comment.
“Our inspections identified a large number of mechanical, respirator protection, electrical, lead, fire, explosive and other hazards that must be effectively and continuously addressed to protect the workers at this plant from potentially deadly or disabling injuries and illnesses now and in the future,” said Rosemarie Ohar, area director in OSHA’s Concord office.
The company has 15 days to contest the fines
