OSHA Reviewing Alabama Car Parts Plant Use of Chemical
Federal regulators are investigating complaints about safety problems at an automotive parts plant in Selma.
The Selma Times-Journal reported the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is reviewing operations at seat manufacturer Renosol.
A vice president with Renosol parent company Lear Corp. said it’s not unusual for the agency to visit manufacturing sites.
The investigation is based partly on a list of employee complaints. A public relations firm representing the workers says about three-quarters of the plant’s 90 workers have respiratory problems associated with a chemical used in the manufacturing process.
Employees said exposure to the chemical causes asthma-like symptoms.
