Apparently an OSHA report was filed on DTP Body shop for not using rubber floor mats in all production work areas and for not having personal fans at each work station. Check it out and read the investigation's final report. I won't say how I obtained this, but it looks to me the report is robotic in nature as if there was really no investigation done and they just maybe called the plant's health and safety department. I can never get H&S to return my calls, so I don't know how this investigation was done, but in every ACH (ex-Ford) plant they have rubber mats and personal fans as well as personal chairs in every work area and if they don't they buy them and install them at the request of the operators. Why is it so different for this facility?? could it be someone isn't doing their job or they don't want to spend the money?
Notice under allegation #1 they claim that their equipment operates "well" on a regular basis. We all know this is not a fact.
For allegation #2 they claim that all raised steel platforms have rubber mats, well no sh*t!!!!! installing wood on them would be costly, so throwing down a rubber mat is the best option for both the plant and the worker's feet. Why can't workers that have to walk repeatedly throughout a large walk area within their work area be subjected to wood floors?
The third allegation was for drinking fountains within the plant which is not shown here, they claim that all the fountians are working properly and that the water has been tested and is ok to drink. They used the word "OK" in the report. The child units "in my opinion" do not filter the water properly, I almost threw up when I drank a cup of water from those units before so I never touched them again. Someone needs to take a Vial sample and send it to the MI EPA department for testing of contaminants. I just don't trust drinking the Rouge water.
