DALTON, Ga. — A Dalton business has reached a settlement with the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

In an email, OHSA spokesman Michael D’Aquino said Columbia Recycling Corp. has agreed to pay $250,000 in fines due to repeated workplace violations. Columbia Recycling President Robert Goldberg did not immediately return a telephone message left at his office Tuesday afternoon.

D’Aquino said Columbia has agreed to “utilize the OSHA Training Institute or Qualified OSHA Training Institute Education Center to obtain either a Safety and Health Management Certificate or Industrial Safety and Health Certificate for the current or any future safety manager, to be completed no later than Jan. 31, 2018.”

OSHA issued citations to Columbia Recycling’s facility at 2410 South Dixie Highway in October for five repeated, three serious and one other-than-serious safety and health violations. Acting on a complaint, the agency started an inspection on April 26.

In 2007, OSHA fined Columbia Recycling $41,400 for 11 serious safety violations following a fire at the company’s Chattanooga Avenue facility that left one employee dead and two injured.

Between 2007 and 2012 at least six fires were reported at the Chattanooga Avenue facility.
