Lawmakers blast Cintas' safety [USA]

Lawmakers at a House subcommittee hearing Wednesday said they were "outraged" and "appalled" by the way Mason-based Cintas reacted to the death of a worker at a Tulsa, Okla., laundry facility. Eleazar Torres-Gomez, 46, was killed at a Cintas plant last year after being dragged by a conveyor belt into an industrial-size dryer and trapped for 20 minutes. Cintas CEO Scott Farmer said in a statement after the accident that Torres-Gomez "did not follow established safety rules" by climbing onto the conveyer belt. But the worker's son, Emmanuel Torres,...said an investigation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration...revealed more than 30 similar instances during the two weeks before his father's death in which other employees climbed onto the machinery... Cintas said that following the death of Torres-Gomez, the company formed an executive safety council chaired by Farmer and made up of Cintas executives and three nationally recognized safety experts.
