Posted on Monday, January 18th, 2010 at 2:33 pm    

Cocoa Services LP has been cited with 5 citations and Lyons & Sons has been cited with 7 from the Occupational Health and Safety Administration after the death of a worker.

OSHA will begin to investigate this accident in July. The worker fell into a tank that converted hard chocolate to liquid chocolate. Some of the violations for both companies include, lack of railing on floor openings or working platforms. They were also cited for a lack of warning signs.

The companies have 15 business days to act upon the citations.
