The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) fined Fraser Paper $ 170,000 for failing to record numerous injuries and illnesses that occurred at its Madawaska mill between 2003 and 2005.
By examining the the company's illness and injury logs and other medical data, OSHA found that, within 2003 and 2004, the incomplete annual illness and injury summaries were certified as being complete; 59 injuries or illnesses were not recorded in the mill's "OSHA 300" illness and injury log.
Anthony Lemire, OSHA's area director for Maine points out that proper recording of injuries and illnesses is the foundation of a workplace safety and health program. Unrecorded or misreported injury and illness information can obscure the types and severity of injuries occurring in a workplace, undermining efforts to prevent them.
