A third company has been accused of safety violations in connection with efforts to clean up a natural gas liquids spill involving a pipeline near Parachute, Colo.
Documents obtained Tuesday by the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration show the three companies may have allowed workers to be exposed to benzene and other hazardous substances.
One document shows OSHA is seeking fines totaling $9,180 against W.C. Striegel Inc., a Rangely company that does pipeline work. As previously reported, OSHA also is pursuing fines of $7,854 against Bargath LLC and $10,200 against Badger Daylighting Corp.
Bargath hasn’t accepted OSHA’s allegations and is working with the agency. Badger hasn’t commented and W.C. Striegel could not be reached Tuesday for comment.
