that said its failure to follow federal safety standards resulted in the death of a worker last year.
“If necessary, we’ll defend the company in court, but rest assured that we will also continue to constantly improve our workplace, as well as to cooperate and partner with OSHA as opportunities permit. Both Rex and OSHA want safe workers.” In a statement, Rex Lumber said it “was devastated to lose a coworker” and continues “to keep the family in our thoughts and prayers.” However, the announcement of fines came after initial findings, not a full investigation, the company said.
Rex Lumber also said OSHA, in its release, had erroneously attributed violations to it that actually belonged to a different company doing business in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Virginia.
