The Occupational Safety and Health Administration fined the confectionery and chewing gum maker $14,500 for the incident, which it described as “serious” in a report. “Employees of an outside employer, I.K. Stoltzfus Service Corp., cleaned tanks, including the Dove chocolate batching 20 micron tank, owned by the onsite/host employer, Mars Wrigley,” the report said.
Mars Wrigley failed to provide the contractors with adequate safety training, the document added. According to Penn Live, a local news site, firefighters rescued the workers by drilling a hole in the bottom of the tank and pulling them out. The chocolate was about waist-high, it reported. “The safety of our Associates and outside contractors are a top priority for our business,” a spokesperson for Mars Wrigley said in a statement.

Fines are just the cost of doing business. Providing all the training and safety probably cost more than the $14,500 fine. Under the “capitalist” system the responsible thing to do for a for-profit company is to just pay the fine and do nothing else. What are the odds for change?

Covering this while also not covering what is happening in Ohio. 🤔
In a related story, two Mars employees were fined for cultural appropriation😉
Fined less than my student loans. What a joke
Thankfully the workers, O'Henry and Clark, fell into the chocolate slated for the appropriately named candy bars.
fell in? or jumped in?
It's dangerous work, you can't sugar-coat it....
Shame you report on chocolate when in Ohio we have people being poisoned by actions by liberals. Or how China has no fear of the United States as long as Biden is in the White House. And don't talk about the pipeline. That means nothing
Death by chocolate?
Thank God they are safe, there must be millions of calories in there.
