The two Half Moon Bay farms where a disgruntled worker shot and killed seven people in January were fined less than $200,000 total for workplace safety violations.
HALF MOON BAY — State officials fined two farms where a mass shooter killed seven people in January for failing to provide employees with active shooter training that could’ve saved their lives, according to a Monday announcement.
Both employers, state regulators say, were cited for failing to establish workplace safety plans that evaluated the threat of workplace violence and train workers in a language they can understand. The majority of workers at both farms spoke either Spanish or Chinese dialects.
“While this tragedy that took place happened six months ago, it’s far from over,” said Belinda Hernandez-Arriaga, Director of Ayudando Latinos a Soñar, a local farmworker aid organization helping survivors of the shooting to pick up the pieces. “They had their colleagues killed, murdered; it’s something that’s gonna take a lot of time to really be able to heal,” Hernandez-Arriaga said. “They’re still in a lot of pain, they’re still suffering and it still continues to be a tragedy here in our community.”
Jimenez has worked with farmworkers for years. Work-safety training and emergency preparedness standards are virtually non-existent, Jimenez said.
