STIPULATION AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

 

The parties, Friction Division Products, Inc., ("Friction" or the "company") and its successors, Elizabeth Dole, Secretary of Labor, United States Department of Labor (the "Secretary"), and the International Chemical Workers Union, AFL-CIO, and its Local No. 155 (the "Union"), by their undersigned representatives, have reached full and complete settlement of OSHRC Docket Nos. 89-2467, 2467 (ETA) under Rule 2200.100 of the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission's (the "Commission's") procedural rule on settlement. Accordingly, the parties state as follows:

1. The Commission has jurisdiction of this matter under 29 U.S.C. 659(c), Section 10(c) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, 29 U.S.C. 651-678 (the "Act").

2. Friction Division Products, Inc., is a corporation with its principal place of business located in Trenton, New Jersey. It has been at all times material to this proceeding engaged in the business of manufacturing and its employees performed various tasks in the nature of manufacturing. During the course of its business, Friction uses material and equipment which it receives from places located outside New Jersey. As a result of these activities, the company is an employer engaged in a business affecting commerce as defined by Section 3(3) and 3(5) of the Act, and has employees as defined by Section 3(6) of the Act, and is subject to the requirements of the Act. 29 U.S.C. 652(3),(5),(6).

3. After inspection of Friction's brake manufacturing plant in Trenton, New Jersey in early 1987, the Secretary cited friction for numerous violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA's) standard regarding occupational exposure to asbestos, 29 C.F.R. 1910.1001. Friction did not contest the citation. Instead, Friction and the Secretary executed a settlement agreement and the citation became a final Commission order on September 1, 1987. After reinspecting friction's plant in early 1988, the Secretary issued a failure-to-abate notice alleging that violations cited in 1987 remained unabated. In addition, the Secretary issued a new citation for relying on a laboratory with inadequate quality control for asbestos testing. Friction contested neither the failure-to-abate notification nor the new citation. Friction and the Secretary executed settlement agreements and the notification and citation became final Commission orders on June 21, 1988.

4. After an inspection of Friction's workplace in Trenton, New Jersey, from February through July 1989, the Secretary issued to Friction: a) Citation No. 1 alleging two serious violations of OSHA electrical safety standards; b) Citation No. 2 alleging 113 willful violations (within the meaning of Section 17(a) of the Act) of the OSHA standard regarding exposure to asbestos in the workplace, 29 C.F.R. 1910.1001; and c) Citation No. 3 alleging "other-than-serious" violations of OSHA injury and illness recordkeeping requirements. The Secretary proposed penalties for the willful and serious violations cited in a) and b). The Secretary also issued a separate notification of a failure-to-abate, alleging that Friction failed to abate a number of violations of the OSHA asbestos standard cited during previous inspections in 1987 and 1988 and proposing a penalty.

5. Friction filed a timely notice of contest to the citations, the notifications and the proposed penalties with the Secretary of Labor. The contest was duly transmitted to the Commission.

6. The Secretary hereby amends the total proposed penalty for Citation Nos. 1, 2 and 3 in Docket Nos. 89-2467, 89-2467(FTA) to $285,000. The payment of the amended penalty shall be made to "DOL-OSHA" as follows: in twelve equal increments paid on a quarterly basis by the fifth day of the month in which it is due, the first payment to be due and owing on January 5, 1991, and the remainder to follow thereafter until the entire amount has been satisfied. In addition, the respondent agrees to provide the appropriate indemnity, performance bond, or like assurance satisfactory to the Secretary as spelled out in a separate letter of agreement, to insure that the amended penalties set forth herein are paid. The parties further agree that the notification of proposed penalties for failure to abate previous violations of $1,735,000 shall be collected from Friction only if Friction is found to have violated the order of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit consented to as part of this settlement agreement (see 1 15 and Addendum a), and then only in the amounts found appropriate by that court for such violations.

________
NOTE:  Citation No. 2 was amended on August 8, 1989 to correct certain
transcription errors for items 32-38.  Friction's contest in this matter
covered the citation as amended.
