St. Petersburg boat cleaning company cited for health and safety violations - St. Petersburg Times
ST. PETERSBURG — The federal government has cited a St. Petersburg company with safety and health violations and proposed fines of $200,900.Scuba Clean Inc., a family-run boat cleaning business, was cited Thursday with three willful safety violations, which come with proposed penalties of $147,000. They are for hazards associated with divers not being trained, divers not being accompanied by another diver with continuous visual contact and using air hoses not rated for diving.
The company, at 2133 Second Ave. S, also was cited on 16 serious violations with possible penalties of $53,900.
"Management has demonstrated disregard for its employees' safety and health, and needs to take action immediately before there is a serious injury or fatality," said Les Grove, area director in Tampa of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
The company disputes the violations, and says the OSHA standards and guidelines that the company was judged by apply to commercial diving operations like deepwater oil rigs, and not a business whose divers usually don't even go past 5 feet.
