Michigan auto supplier tops $400K in fines after state safety inspections

Nineteen citations totaling $265,600 were levied this week against a Michigan auto supplier following workplace safety inspections.

The fines are the most of any workplace safety violations issued in Michigan in 2016, according to federal data.

Another $154,950 in proposed penalties have been charged to Bosal during the last six years, according to the state's Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. That brings the six-year citation total to $420,550 in initial penalties.

"Penalties can be reduced through a penalty reduction agreement, when the employer agrees to accept the citations and prove prompt abatement," according to a LARA spokeswoman. Information on whether that took place with Bosal was not available.
