Safety violations alleged at W.Va. postal facility

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — The U.S. Postal Service faces $212,500 in civil penalties for alleged safety violations at a mail processing facility in Huntington.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration said Thursday that the Postal Service failed to train workers to safely work with live electrical parts, exposing them to potential hazards.

A complaint filed by the U.S. Department of Labor asks the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission to order the Postal Service to correct electrical violations at all its facilities across the nation.

The Postal Service defended its safety record. It said it began implementing a plan in January to improve safe electrical work practices.
