Seattle battery manufacturer fined over $200K for exposing workers to lead [View all]
Washington state is penalizing a Seattle-based vehicle battery manufacturer for exposing workers to lead levels more than four times the safety limit.
The Department of Labor and Industries said last week it imposed a nearly $225,000 fine on Dyno Battery after the company failed to fix the violations.
Dyno Battery is a family-owned company that produces batteries for golf carts, trains, boats and heavy-duty vehicles. It’s been in operation since 1933.
Last July, state regulators inspected the company and found more than a dozen safety violations, many involving lead hazards.
