POCATELLO, ID – The U.S. Department of Labor has cited an Idaho transformer producer for failing to correct hazards previously identified by federal inspectors and repeatedly exposing workers to serious safety hazards. In June 2025, inspectors with the department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration determined that Virginia Transformer Corp. exposed employees to hazards similar to those identified during two 2024 inspections involving cranes used to handle heavy loads with faulty brakes and switches. OSHA cited the company for 53 serious and repeat violations, including failure to guard machinery, exposing workers to fall hazards, and failure to provide personal protective equipment. The company faces proposed penalties of $986,888.The company has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and penalties to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA, or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. Penalties and citations may be adjusted throughout the course of the case. Please check the OSHA establishment search page periodically for any changes in the inspection or penalty status.  Learn more about OSHA. Employers can contact the agency for information about OSHA’s compliance assistance resources and for free help complying with OSHA standards. body { font-size: 1em; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; color: #333333; }
