| 摘要： | The owner of an Idaho tank trailer testing and repair company was sentenced to a month in federal prison and a $15,000 fine for lying to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and for making an illegal, uncertified repair to a cargo tank in violation of the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act. According to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Idaho, Loren Kim Jacobson's conduct came to light through the investigation of a 2018 explosion that occurred during a tank repair at KCCS Inc. that severely injured him and another worker. Jacobson, 65, pleaded guilty to both offenses May 20. He was sentenced Nov. 19, 2021. "This tragic accident could have been prevented had the defendant adhered to OSHA workplace safety requirements," said Rafael M. Gonzalez. Jr., acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Idaho. "It is vital that companies follow all health and safety guidelines and ensure a safe workplace for its employees. By callously focusing on financial gain, the defendant created the conditions that led to the explosion." Jacobson also was sentenced to five months' home confinement and three years' supervised release. |
