Lowe’s Home Centers has been cited for 13 alleged safety violations at its Castle Rock store following an inspection by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
OSHA is proposing $82,700 in penalties for violations that include inaccuracies in records on worker injuries and illnesses, electrical safety issues involving access to equipment, and damage to wire insulation. OSHA says three alleged serious violations were related to issues with emergency exits, machine guarding and installation of proper electrical receptacles.
Lowe’s spokeswoman Karen Cobb said the safety of employees is the company’s highest priority. She said Lowe’s dedicates “substantial” resources to its safety programs and looks forward to formally responding to the citations.
