“The number and gravity of the hazards is staggering, one of the worst cases I’ve ever seen,” said Craig Blackwood, assistant director for L&I’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health, in a prepared statement. “They had safety meetings where they talked about and documented the hazards, but they never took any action.”

“We’re imposing significant penalties so workers’ lives are not put at risk again,” Blackwood continued.
