The U.S. Department of Labor said Monday that a company with facilities in Beaumont was fined $399,349 after employees and first responders were exposed to a toxic gas in an April 2023 incident.

Two employees of Trimac Transportation Inc., which operates as National Tank Services -- a national tank cleaning company -- suffered injuries when exposed to. The gas was present during the cleaning process ­­of a tanker truck on April 25, 2023, in Beaumont. Two municipal firefighters responding to the scene also suffered injuries from the gas.

OSHA proposed penalties of $399,349 to the company after citing nine health violations, including two willful, three repeat and four serious. Authorities said investigators also found National Tank Services again failed to provide protective clothing, eye, face and hand protection, did not label containers and failed to provide injury and illness logs to OSHA within four business hours, violations previously cited in the past five years at their facilities in Georgia, Louisiana and Texas.
