HARBESON, Del. (AP) - Federal inspectors have accused poultry producer Allen Harim Foods of using a First Aid station at its Harbeson processing facility to avoid reporting worker injuries.
According to the Wilmington News Journal,the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced Wednesday that Harim provides medical care to its workers through a First Aid station staffed by three emergency medical technicians, none of whom are licensed in Delaware.
In a letter sent to Harim dated Aug. 7, the inspectors say the emergency personnel are supervised by a corporate safety officer who has no medical training.
A representative for the Seaford-based company was not immediately available for comment.
The letter comes after inspectors cited Harim for nine safety violations at the plant in June. The company is appealing those citations.
