DANGERS IN WASH ALLEY
Automated wash floors are dangerous.
Eleazar Torres Gomez was killed in a Tulsa Cintas laundry this past March. He was reportedly caught on a conveyor and dragged into a dryer where he was trapped in 300 degree heat for at least 20 minutes.
After Mr. Torres Gomez's death OSHA has proposed nearly $3 million in penalties for unsafe conditions in its washrooms.
We can make our jobs safer.
OSHA's federal safety standards protect us from many potentially fatal workplace hazards.
We should never have to climb on equipment that is running.
All machinery should be properly guarded.
We should never have to unjam machines while they are running.
OSHA standards require companies to fully guard conveyor systems.
