October 27, 2009

A judge has ordered that OSHA attorneys have the right to question Imperial Sugar executives and former employees about the February 7, 2008 refinery explosion in Port Wentworth, Georgia. OSHA lawyers submitted evidence that the witnesses who have been previously deposed have relevant information and should be questioned again. OSHA will likely focus on whether the alleged OSHA violations, which caused numerous Georgia workplace injuries and led to several Savannah workers' compensation claims, were "willful."
