Robins Air Force Base Receives 2nd Set of OSHA Citations

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration handed out a second round of citations to Robins Air Force Base last week and employees are voicing their concerns about the work environment

In May of last year OSHA handed down citations to Robins Air Force Base, most of which dealt with high carcinogen levels in buildings 169 and 670. A new set of citations were issued last week and the reoccurring problem of cancer causing particles in the work area remains. Employees are concerned not enough is being done to make sure their work environment is safe.

“You don’t know what you’re walking into and you don’t know what you’re walking out of because it’s something you really don’t see. It’s kind of like dust, you know. You don’t know that you’re being exposed to anything and then sooner or later, you know there’s been people that have got cancer that has worked in that building,” said Ray Fisher, an Air Craft Sheet Metal Mechanic at RAFB.
