An Ohio-based grain handling company was fined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration after alleged safety violations led to the deaths of two employees last year.
The Andersons Inc. was fined by OSHA for $291,716 after the administration found grain handling, walking and working surfaces violations related to the July 19th accident.
