State fines Tahoe Keys Marina

Tahoe Keys Marina received five citations from the state Department of Industrial Relations.

Inspectors had been at the South Lake Tahoe marina in April. The state Occupational Safety and Health Administration opens an investigation when an employee files a complaint, there has been an injury or a complaint has been filed. Cal-OSHA is designed to protect workers from health and safety hazards in the workplace.

“The penalties were for things like no injury and illness prevention plan, the way they stored cylinders, HAZMAT issues and no crane wheel guards,” Jules Bernstein with DIR told Lake Tahoe News.

The marina was fined $1,310.

The state also issued 13 information memos altering management that potential exposure exists if employees come in contact with those issues. These are issued when the state can’t prove employee exposure at the time of inspection, Bernstein explained.
